Yikesberry
This silk berry just pops with fun color! Purple Majesty floss provides a vivid background stitched in a checkerboard pattern to add wonderful texture. It's topped with a few bright lime green wool leaves and a bit of twisted cord.
The linen berry version, stitched on hot purple Jewel linen has the same fun look – just a larger version. A bit of black wool, a stack of black buttons and a bit of green ribbon finish it off. A fun addition to your Halloween collection!
Yikesberry is sold as a “partner” chartpak, a format which includes instructions and charts for linen and silk berries.
