Well done to our not one but two winners Judy Jackson and Annette Frazier!! Can you both please email me at sarahhomfray@blueyonder.co.uk or you can use the contact page on the website with your postal addresses so we can get your threads on their way to you! Sarah x
Hi Sarah, thanks again and shall do! Regards Judy Jackson.
you have helped me with my recovery from a severe fall (at age 74) which kept me in a recliner chair for 9 months. I was gradually able to use my right arm just enough to do some of the beginner stitches. Now I am addicted to this art and would love to try some new yarns, especially the Eco Vita 360 crewel wool. They look so warm and natural that I can imagine several ways to use them. Thanks so much for showing them to us.
I am so glad you are recovering!!!
I have a shoulder condition so I can understand. Wishing you a speedy recovery ❤
The DMC Eco Vita set is truly impressive. I started practicing embroidery as a way to manage my anxiety. Engaging in artistic activities that involve manual dexterity helps individuals transform their anxiety into tangible creations and channel their emotions toward a more positive direction. I wholeheartedly endorse anyone who receives this set.
I have many years experience dying wool with natural dyes. The Eco Vita looks lovely. The colours from natural dyes are desaturated which means the colours will not clash with each other. Colour harmony is built in!
The DMC Eco Vita 360 crewel wool is beautiful, I like the lighter look. I am a 85 year old newcomer to embroidery and have only been stitching for a few months and your channel has been a life saver for me. I am loving stitching and find myself working for hours before I realize the time. Thanks you so much for your perfect lessons.
Congratulations to crewel wool embroidery- Yes! Im 77 and did crewel when i was 17 yrs along time for my grandmother!❤
Its wonderful when you are old😂❤️
@@sandramyer7081 I never did any kind of sewing after I almost failed homemaking when I was 15. I tripped and fractured my knee last December so I was stuck in my apartment here at a retirement community for 6 months. I felt like my brain quit working and decided to try embroidery after seeing an ad for a beginner kit. My daughter was so enthusiastic since she is an advanced seamstress. I now am the proud owner of a Lowery Workstand with extended arm. 😁😁😁 Yes old age does have it’s advantages! Thank you for your comments.
I have resumed my embroidery journey after many years because of your videos. Today is my 55th birthday, the Eco Vita threads would be a great gift! 😂
Happy belated birthday. Hope it was great!
Eco Vita. I am so excited that a company is using eco dyes! They are beautiful!! Thank you for showing them to us!
I m 61 and learning so much from your channel. Eco Vita crewel wool would be a welcome addition to my collection of thrifted bits for making fabric slow stitch books.
I love the sound of the needle going in and out of fabric stitching with DMC Eco Vita ✨ and thank you for the free pattern ❤️
I find it very pleasing listening to Sarah’s threads and the needle to. I sometimes think I must be daft but I really do enjoy it and making this embroidery music myself.
I was busy working our ranch for years and didn’t have time to resume my stitching until this last year. I have Scleroderma and lupus so now I have to rest and not keep going non stop. When I get in from chores I rest and sit a bit so I stitch. Funny how much you forget or never knew to begin with. I love your videos. Your voice is quite relaxing to listen too. Thank you so much for teaching me more about a hobby (and therapy) I love. Eco Vito.❤
Sarah, you are such an inspiring teacher! Nowhere have I found such clear instruction on English embroidery techniques and I am really thrilled to have found you. Thank you for your informed, intelligent and skilful instructions. I love the Eco Vita colours as they give a really subtle palette, which would look so at home in my old cottage.
Thank you for your lovely tutorials. I love the softness of the finished design you made using the DMC Eco Vita wool. In the past I embroidered bears on wool using wool thread, then made it into a quilts. One of my favorite projects.
Hi Sarah. Eco Vita crewel wool looks absolutely gorgeous. I love naturally dyed yarns. They look so organic in a project. I'm a huge fan after recently finding your videos. I've been a textile artist for quite a while, and my daughters and I really enjoy your tutorials. Thank you so much for your inspiration and generosity of free patterns❤❤
The Eco Vita colours seem to be just the colours I like. They are are wonderfully subtle and perfect for flowers and other natural subjects.
Eco Vita. Thank you for helping me to learn stitches beyond the basic stitches I learned as a child. I have resumed embroidery now that I am retired and very much enjoy your videos.
I love your videos. Thank you so much for showing us how to use the DMC Eco Vita Wool !!! I am excited to get to try this product. Thank you.💕
How nice to see they've used all natural dyes, the Eco Vita color line is so BEAUTIFUL! Thank you, Sarah, for all your tutorials; they've always helped me in my stitching❤
This Eco Vita crewel wool is lovely to stitch with. Thank you for another lovely design and video ❤
How wonderful that DMC have not only brought out a crewel wool but have also used natural dyes, which are a real interest of mine now
I am so encouraged to know that DMC Eco Vita is available and DMC is marching into the future , I have a few skeins of thread for embroidery from 1930 that I have "inherited" from my grandmother.
Eco Vita threads sound ideal for my winter project of large scraps of pure wool fabric which I will join together with embroidery stitches (and a little subtle support stitch) to make a warm throw for my armchair. You have rekindled my desire to learn new stitches because as a child there was no-one to teach me more than the very basics. Thank you Sarah for all the help you share.
I was looking at the Eco Vita threads yesterday in a craft shop. I love wool embroidery. I made baby blankets for my kids and nieces and nephews all with wool embroidery.
I LOVE this Eco Vita!!! I have learned so much from you. I use all these techniques in needlepoint and canvas work and am starting to do this style as well. Thank you
Thankyou Sarah for the opportunity to win DMC Eco Vita crewel wools. I love the subtle shades and the use of natural dyes.
Thanks for the download, Sarah. It's beautiful. How exciting to see a natural dye range from DMC, the Eco Vita looks lovely. I once knit a shawl in natural dyed wools and it was a real pleasure, the colors are easy on the eyes.
Thank you for your support Bernard x
I could watch you stitch for hours! It is very relaxing. Beautiful new threads that I would very much enjoy. So, my fingers are crossed for Eco Vita coming my way!
The Eco Vita wools are beautiful ! You stitched with them beautifully! Enjoyed your video so much!
I started teaching myself when I was a kid to embroidery.... then life happened and decades have gone by. I recently decided I wanted to pick it back up and learn correctly. I've found your channel to be the best for teaching style and absorbing the information. As for the thread from Eco Vita....I hope I win!! The thread is fabulous!! Thank you Sarah ❤
I love the idea of natural dyes and I love the subtle differences in the colors. These Eco Vita 360 crewel wool skeins would be a lovely addition to my collection.
Hello Sarah from France !
I have been following your channel for a long time now (I have subscribed) and I learned many things watching you embroider : The choice of different needles, the use of backing fabric… I like the way you explain things : they always seem so simple then ! I (of course) am a fan of embroidery, (and cats, we see yours once in a while helping you !) which I practice nearly every day, at least a few minutes if other things keep me too busy. I do different embroidery techniques but not Crewel embroidery yet, and I would so much like to try it with this very nice set of Eco Vita threads from DMC. I keep my finger crossed !!! See you in your next video !and thank you for sharing all your knowledge. Virginie.
The soft, muted colours of the Eco Vita threads are beautiful. I used to dye my handspun yarns with natural dyes and these colours remind me of the colours I produced.
I received a beautiful new lap hoop frame for my 65th birthday. I absolutely love it! That gorgeous Eco Vita thread would be so lovely to work with. I am soaking up your stitch videos, love them all.
Wow! What a combination - DMC ECO VITA 360 crewel wool and a pattern by Sarah Homfray.I have downloaded the pattern, transferred it to my fabric and am ready to enjoy the experience of embroidering with this fabulous new crewel wool. The colours are so beautifully blended and appear soft and subtle.Can’t wait to use them!
Eco Vita thread colours are beautiful. I imagine embroidering a lovely country garden filled with pastel colours. 😊
The Eco Vita colors are so natural looking and lovely. Thank you, Sarah for your stitching inspiration.
What a great name for a naturally dyed thread, Eco Vita! Sounds like a celebration and the vibrancy certainly look like a celebration of colour. Love your videos, you are so generous with your knowledge they really help in my embroidery journey. 🎉
The Eco Vita crewel wool threads look so wonderful!
I'm a Renaissance faire performer and they would fit in so nicely with some historically accurate embroidery.
I loved the floral design, I tihnk it goes perfectly with the Eco Vita colors! They are so easy on the eyes and look so natural!
I have been using your videos since last year to teach a small group of ladies to embroider, which has been immensely helpful. I like the soft warmth Eco Vita colours.
Thank you for showing the DMC eco vita crewel wools. As a newcomer to embroidery it’s wonderful to have tutorials that are so easy to understand 🙂
The comparison between DMC and Appleton’s was very interesting and useful. I am so excited about this new Eco Vita range as I do slow stitching combined with beading, and the textures will be sublime, I suspect!
The limited colour palette is excellent too.
Sarah, you've inspired me to pickup my handwork again after many years. The Eco Vita is so lovely! Like you, I appreciate the fact that they use natural dyes, and I hope to see the company expand their range of colors in the future. And I so appreciate your videos. Happy stitching!
My grandmother started to teach me cross stitch…. over 30 years ago. But I have only recently dipped my toe back into embroidery and now I’m in big trouble because the more I learn the more I want to try all the different styles! Crewelwork as a discipline is the one that resonates with me the most and I think these Eco Vita wools might be easier to find in Australia as they are a DMC product so I would love to try them out. Thanks for your review of them and for all the tutorials which have really helped me get working on stitching again.
Love your fabulous videos. Your instructions are so easy to follow. Thank you for showing the gorgeous Eco Vita threads! They are lovely in your flowers💕. Have a wonderful weekend 🥰
Thank you for another lovely project. Using the Eco Vita with their beautiful natural dyes adds interest .sending congratulations to you for your wonderful content. Xx Jan
I love what DMC is doing with Eco Vita! These are sooo beautiful 😍 the colors are wonderful.
Hi Sarah, I've been following along with your slow stitch sampler videos and I've enjoyed learning slow stitch. Ive found it a great way to relax and just enjoy the stitching for itself. Ive also loved all the inspiration from other stitchery. I've never used wool and the DMC Eco Vida thread looks like a lovely set to try.
thanks Sarah for this video showcasing the gorgeous Eco Vita wool threads; such a beautiful natural colour palate; whoever wins them is going to be very happy I think !!!
The Eco Vita threads are lovely. I so appreciate your design being full coverage. Thank you, Sarah.
This Eco Vita yarn is beautiful. I do love natural dyes. And I adore your free design. It's very generous of you.
Sarah, I am so glad that I found your channel. You have revived my interest in hand embroidery which had waned over the years. Love the natural shades of Eco Vita thread.
Lovely video, again, Sarah. The Eco Vita threads look absolutely scrumptious and the perfect thread for your flower panel. It's so generous of you to give us access to your designs for free. Thank you
The DMC Eco Vita threads have a fantastic colour range and are the perfect wool thread for many types of embroidery.
Eco vita what beautiful threads. Thank you for all the wonderful teaching you do to keep what use to be a dying craft alive and well.
As a relative newcomer to your channel and to embroidery, but as an avid crocheter and knitter, I love the idea of using wool for embroidery and especially the look of the Eco Vita crewel wool. I really like the shades in the set and am very tempted to order some right now! I always learn such a lot from your channel. Thank you Sarah.
The natural dyes for Eco Vita color line are so Beautiful. Thank you Sarah for all your tutorials.
I absolutely love the Eco Vita wool thread. I did crewel Embroidery many many many years ago. Then I switch to regular Embroidery and County Crosstitch. When I saw the colors of the echo vita, I’ll just said I have got to do homework again. I love how the colors are muted. And I absolutely love flowers. I’ve recently taken off adult coloring, and my favorite thing is coloring flowers.
Hello Sarah! My name is Donna, and I am new to the embroidery world (June 2024), and I have learned so much from you. Your channel is amazing, I have watched video's on how to select needles (who knew there are so many), to choosing fabric (backing fabric), silk ribbon and threads how to use them. It's been amazing! I have also made so many new connections with other people, (even went to a quilting show in Edmonton), it's so fun to talk to others that get excited about thread and stitches and silk ribbon (my fav). Thank you for another educational video on the DMC Eco Vita 360 Crewel Wool. I can't wait to try my hand using those threads. Thanks again Sarah ♥
Welcome back Sarah! We missed you last week, I heard you’re doing some cleaning up/ re-organizing… I hope to do the same one day this summer.
Very lovely colors of DMC’s Eco Vita! Thank you for a beautiful pattern. It came up so pretty!
Have a good summer!
🌸tess
The texture these Eco Vita threads have makes such a beautiful effect in this pattern!
I"ts so lovely DMC dyeing wool with natural dyes. ECO VITA looks beautiful, It's a pleasure watching you embroidery those flowers. Thanks for the giveaway!!
The Eco Vita colours are beautiful. I love your design with the dark blue French knots between the flowers and leaves.
I think the range of natural colours in Eco Vita is really lovely, a welcome change from artificial dyes
Hi Sarah, Such a lovely design you have created for this project! Thank you so much! These Eco Vita colors are really lovely! You are not only a fabulous creator and teacher, but the ONLY person who has made doing French Knots actually understandable! Until you, mine were horrible, now I can manage pretty well. Hope you are having a lovely summer. 👍✌️❤️😊🌞
Hi, Sarah! Finding your channel has inspired me to take up needlework again. I was taught embroidery by my maternal grandmother and crochet by my paternal grandmother over sixty years ago. But I had a busy life which left little time for pursuing my crafts as I would have liked to do. I now am retired and live in Colorado. I've always been a nature lover, and the colors of the Eco Vita fit so well with the natural colors I see around me. I would love to create some decor for my daughter that celebrate her love of the mountains and the wildlife here. I know that whoever wins this giveaway will treasure the Eco Vita crewel wool and create somehing spectacular.
I am amazed at my ability to pick up on the stitches you teach. I am a beginner and this has become a hobby I enjoy very much. Thank you for the give-a-way and here's my "Eco Vita," and good luck to everyone.
I have returned to embroidery during lockdowns and attending classes via a local charity who told me about your lovely stitch videos and am loving it. It would be lovely to try some crewel work with the Eco Vita wools they are such yummy colours.
The Eco Vita threads are gorgeous! I am inspired to try this project. I have to say that you are my go to source for all things related to embroidery! You are a master teacher and have helped me learn how to do so many things! Thank you for your clear instructions and delightful delivery in your videos. Much appreciation!!
Thank you for shwing the differences between DMC Eco Vita and Arlington wool threads. I really wouldn't mind either brand, as nothing is perfect in life. Also, thank you for providing the free PDF pattern download. Your hair looks lovely Sarah 😊
You have the most soothing voice, along with your excellent teaching skills. I’ve never had an interest in embroidery until I came across your channel. I now use embroidery as an embellishment for my quilting projects, thanks to you. If I can stay awake during your most “comforting” and soothing sessions, I learn so much!! Thank you 😊.
The Eco Vito wool threads are lovely. Natural dies create the most beautiful colors. Thank you for the great video.
Hi Sarah - I just love to watch you stitch. I’ve never worked with wool thread. Would be a real treat to use the Eco Vita threads. They are really pretty and natural looking. Thank you for all you share with us. I’ve used DMC thread for years. I love the design you created.
I love the natural look of the Eco Vita threads. They would be perfect for your pattern to produce a lovely flower piece which I plan to make for a friend's birthday. Thank you once again for inspiration and your clear teaching videos
Thank you very much for taking the time to show us the Eco Vita threads. I had not heard of them before. They are beautiful. I am a fan of anything DMC.
I’m semi-new to the embroidery world, my aunt introduced me to it when I was little, and rediscovered it with her recently! She actually told me to check out the channel! The Eco Vita thread looks so lovely to work it. Never worked with wool before, but I hope to soon!
I like the look of the muted shades of the DMC Eco Vita crewel embroidery wool range and I would use them to decorate a fold over flap for a vintage style sewing pouch . Your flower design would certainly make eye catching impact for my project. I love your style of calm, confident teaching and I have learned a lot. Thank You Sarah.
Lovely. I like the use of eco-friendly dyes, with their softer colors, and the way the Eco Vita wool easily covered the design sketch. Thank you for posting and offering the 'free stuff'.
Im now in my 60s and through your channel have discovered a love of embroidery, the eco vita colours are stunning, thankyou for the introduction and the free pattern. ♥️
Hey, greetings from Germany! Eco Vita is the perfekt Yarn for my medieval Embroidery. Thanks for showing US this fantastic Wool.
Hello Sarah! I'm a fairly new viewer to your channel, and I'm very much enjoying learning to do the stitches. Slow stitching is so enjoyable and relaxing.
When I spoke to my sister in British Columbia , we discovered that we've both been slow stitching with you! The ECO VITA wool thread looks lovely. The free
pattern is gorgeous. Thanks for inspiring me!
Thanks for introducing us to the Eco Vita range. Wonderful to have some naturally dyed crewel yarns at last. You can't beat the way that natural dyes blend together in a piece of work, much more harmoniously than chemically dyed ones. I've naturally dyed knitting wool and embroidery silks, but never tried crewel wools.
Eco Vita looks like a fun fiber to work with. I like to mix materials in my work, and fluffy fibers with fine fibers is one of my favorite combinations.
Thank you, Sarah for introducing us to these new DMC Eco Vita wool threads…especially thankful for all the inside info about how to use it and when it works beautifully. Always enjoy your videos and always learn something new !
Hi Sarah, I've been watching your show for over a year and am just learning how to navigate on utube. I really enjoyed your demo on using crewel wool. ECO VITA! You make the embroidery easy to understand. Thank you, Bobbie
Absolutely loved the new panel and the new DMC Eco Vita 360 Crewel wool. Would love to try the panel out with the gorgeous colours that you have shown us today. Good luck to everyone and big thank you Sarah for your inspirational videos.
These DMC Eco Vita threads are beautiful colours. Thanks so much, Sarah for sharing your beautiful free pattern with us!❤
As an honour's year student, having found your videos has been amazing. Between your great teaching of the stitches to the interesting facts about hand stitching I have learnt. Stitching has become my break from university, and I can't wait to try some of the Eco Vita threads as those natural dyes look so pretty!
I love the shades of these Eco Vita wools. Thank you for demonstrating them in your beautiful floral design!
I use DMC threads exclusively, and I love these new ones. Such a beautiful texture and I love the soft colors.
Ooo loveing your design using the Eco Vita threads, as soon as you held it up. You are so generous with your free designs.
I have been watching you for a long time. You are a wonderful teacher and just relaxing to listen to. The Eco Vita thread are beautiful. Thank you for your program.
Hi Sarah, I'm very happy with the tutorial you dedicated to the DMC ECO VITA 100% organic merino wool embroidery thread. Some time ago I purchased some colors of ECO VITA threads with the idea of doing a Christmas project and I must say that the thread is very soft to the touch and gives three-dimensionality to the embroidery. The colors are wonderful, both the brightest and the most natural ones, and knowing that they were made using only natural ingredients such as walnut, rhubarb, juniper... excites me, in this way you can obtain embroidery with a natural effect. Thank you Sarah and thank you DMC ECO VITA. Greetings from Agostina
It is exciting to see embroidery coming back in style. I started sewing many years ago. This new line of Eco Vita is beautiful. i can't wait to try it
Oh thanks Sarah for another lovely video! I have watched every video you have made and always look forward to seeing them. You are so talented and a great teacher! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us. I am house bound and am not well enough to go for classes in person so I am just over the moon that I have found your channel. Thanks x
Eco Vita
The DMC Eco Vita wool is beautiful. I love the more natural tones. I am probably not using the correct verbiage but the colors are gentler with the natural dyes. I really enjoy the more subtle tones. I haven’t used wool or done any crewel work. I am going to watch more of your instructional videos. I love the way this looks and hand stitching is very relaxing . I do cross stitch and I am dabbling in slow stitch and embroidery. I really need to spend some time on your channel. Thanks so much for teaching your love of textile arts!
Thank you for the opportunity to get your ECO VITA threads. I was not aware of these DMC threads YAY
The Eco Vita looks beautiful! I recently found you on youtube when I was looking for a new craft to begin. My daughter and granddaughter moved to a different state here in the US, and I have so much time on my hands now. I'm loving embroidery, and you have taught me so much! I've only used DMC normal 6 strand floss so far, so the Eco Vita wools would be lovely to try out! Thank you Sarah for being such a wonderful teacher. And thank you for doing such a lovely give-away!
These Eco Vita crewel wools are really lovely colours, just right for an autumn project.
Thank you for such a generous prize draw, the Eco Vita threads are beautiful.
This is exciting news! Delighted to see that DMC is offering crewel yarn now, and I love the colors. Even better, the Eco Vita wools are dyed using botanical infusions. Thanks so much for the comparison with Appleton wool, and for the free pattern. A wonderful video!
