Buttercream – A Hand-Dyed Fabric in Soft, Neutral Yellow
Introduce a touch of elegance and warmth to your stitching projects with Buttercream, a hand-dyed fabric featuring a muted and subtle neutral yellow tone. This versatile fabric provides a gentle yet sophisticated backdrop, perfect for enhancing your cross-stitch patterns without overpowering the design.
The scan is shown on 32-count plain Belfast linen, which best showcases its soft and even yellow hue. On evenweaves and selected Aidas, the colors will appear lighter and more subdued, making it ideal for creating a serene and timeless look.
Key Features:
Soft Neutral Tone: Buttercream's understated yellow shade is perfect for creating a calming and harmonious background for a wide variety of cross-stitch patterns, including floral designs, samplers, and neutral-themed motifs.
Fabric Variations: While linen offers the most even and consistent tone, evenweaves and Aidas will display a softer, paler yellow due to their fiber differences.
Versatility for Any Theme: This fabric pairs well with designs by Bella Filipina, Nora Corbett, and Mirabilia, making it a staple for stitchers seeking a neutral yet dynamic fabric option.
Important Information:
Unique Dyeing Process: Each piece of Buttercream is hand-dyed, ensuring slight variations in shade and intensity for a one-of-a-kind piece.
Color Intensity Differences: Fabric type and count significantly affect the color’s appearance, with linen offering the richest tones.
Not Colorfast: As with all hand-dyed fabrics, Buttercream is not colorfast. Handle with care to preserve its delicate hue.

Why Choose Buttercream?
Buttercream is a must-have for any cross-stitch enthusiast looking for a neutral fabric with a subtle pop of color.
