Thread Painting Palettes - Digital Embroidery Pattern & Resource
This collection of thread-painting palettes grew out of my own early struggles with choosing and blending colours. I always wished I had a little reference guide to point me in the right direction, so I made one. Inside are 20 curated palettes (each with six DMC shades) that you can stitch into a sampler or simply keep as a digital reference guide for future projects.

AMAZING. I bought this pattern after seeing it on Instagram and I fell in love straight away. This is such a beautiful pattern and as a beginner I never thought I'd be able to make something like this. But I gave it a try and thanks to the super helpful guide that follows, this is what I managed to make. I'm so impressed - I've learned loads and I highly recommend buying from this shop! Thank you! x

Just started with embroidery and there's no better place to start, downloaded and printed with no issues and looking through the shop looks like I will be buying more. The guide that comes with image is also useful and even tell you the colours used.

Probably the most comprehensive embroidery pattern I've purchased so far - the attention to detail given throughout all the guides is amazing! Breaks everything down into a manageable level and also came with a very helpful beginner embroidery guide too. I can't wait to start stitching this - thank you!
Product Description
When I first started thread painting, colour blending felt like trying to read a map without knowing the symbols. I loved the process, but I often found myself wishing for a simple reference - something to help me see how shades could flow into one another. This palette collection is the result of that wish.
It includes 20 curated colour palettes, each built from six DMC threads, arranged to show you how the colours sit together and how they might blend. You can stitch them into a tidy little sampler if you like following along step by step, or you can just use the palettes as a reference whenever you’re planning a new project.
It’s a practical, gentle resource for anyone learning the rhythm of colour blending, and a surprisingly lovely piece to stitch on its own. Whether you’re experimenting, building confidence, or just looking for inspiration, it’s meant to be a friendly companion on your thread-painting journey.
Additional Details
I give advice on materials in the accompanying embroidery guide, but to complete this pattern you'll need:
