F...Anonymous,<br />Yeah it does kind of look like that.<br /><br />Funny! <br /><br />I bought them at the fabric outlet down the street from me. It looks like they were made out of brocade and the different wefts have different effect on the dyes which causes the varied dying effect.Grosgrainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01708175838803992833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4616157712190875587.post-11923559484388941242010-12-18T12:00:35.659-05:002010-12-18T12:00:35.659-05:00Sonia,

It looks like 3 parallel stitches OR a zigzag stitch that is broken up.

It prevents Grosgrainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01708175838803992833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4616157712190875587.post-21885073679660106762010-12-18T10:56:44.805-05:002010-12-18T10:56:44.805-05:00Great idea but I can't help thinking of meat w...Great idea but I can't help thinking of meat when looking at the white and red!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4616157712190875587.post-43461341856875992632010-12-18T07:43:51.929-05:002010-12-18T07:43:51.929-05:00I just wanted to say I'm new to reading your b...I just wanted to say I'm new to reading your blog, and I have enjoyed the sweater makeovers very much!
