This is how I have spent the last few days, making bullion knots. I have used a full skein of fingering weight yarn, about 400 yards. It's a lovely blend of merino wool, silk, and yak. So smooth. I am nearly out of yarn which means it will be time to stop and switch to green French knots. I'm ready for that. #bullionknots #handembroidery #bullionstitch #slowstitch
