This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Winding the Skein designed from a painting by Lord Frederick Leighton shows a mother engaging her daughter on how to wind yarn for the purpose of marking garments out of this yarn. There is a large wicker basket next to the mother which holds garment pieces already made from the yarn. It's a picture-perfect day and we are greeted with a colorful background of various warm colors including a lovely shade of blue for the large body of water. The air is warm and both mother and child are dressed for the warm weather. Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. We only use an abundance of solid colors as it produces a more realistic effect.
