Orna Willis announced her all silk thread collections are on sale in her Etsy shop. That's not the big news, though. The news is the color combinations Orna's picked. They are gorgeous!

UPDATE: More colors!

She is a master of color, so if you are about to embark on a counted canvaswork piece and need help picking colors, just study what Orna has put together. It's a free color lesson from a woman who understands color like she understands breathing.
Here is her web store, in case you want to buy. Personally I only want about all of them!

Sadly, other brands of cotton floss probably don't work this way but it's a neat explanation and useful information. Thanks, Mary!
