The 
second release in Series #2 will be the fabric, which we expect to release in April/May. It's a lovely green, which we're calling Society Thyme, that goes well with the colors in this series, as well as those in Series #1.
When this chart from Primitivebetties (Never Enough Thyme) came my way I knew this had to be a model for Series #2. It's being stitching over-one on 45 count but as tent stitch. I can control my tension better with tent vs. half-cross and it doesn't slip. I normally work in-hand but I find I can see the 45 count linen better to stitch over-on if it's tight in a hoop. Seems like it opens the holes just a tad more.
The words are being stitched in Aubergine, the vine in Flowers of Italy (color #2), the bird in Cabernet (color #3) and the bunnies in Cocolat from Series #1.

About the Society
We are a collection of five needlework shops with a love of fine needlework, for our customers and ourselves. We are pleased to be bringing a new thread to those who love fine work; hand-dyed Soie Surfine. It is being hand-dyed exclusively for us by Gloriana Threads and is not available anywhere else.
Soie Surfine is a 130/2 silk thread from Au ver à Soie®, similar in twist to their popular Soie 100/3 but much finer. It stitches up wonderfully on 40 and 45 count linen.
Our hand-dyed Soie Surfine is only available through Society Member shops. Our subscription series feature five thread colors and a custom dyed linen color from Lakeside Linens for Society Subscribers. Your subscription to a series will entitle you to one skein of each silk color and one piece of our fabric selection (you can specify 40 or 45 count). We release one item approximately every 2 months for a total of 6 shipments (5 threads and 1 fabric).
Contact any one of the Society Member shops to sign-up.
