Floss estimation is for stitching the sampler and the four bookmarks shown as directed on 40-count linen. DMC equivalents are only approximate, as there are no exact equivalents for hand over-dyed floss.
Package contains charts for the sampler/bookmarks, stitching instructions, complete finishing instructions for the four styles of bookmarks shown, and a worksheet area with an alphabet/numbers for personalization.
I encourage you to use floss and fabric colors that match your personality and style.
