Our large-scale Paradise Bay artwork is made up of a mix of flowers including hibiscus, bird-of-paradise and frangipani. Drawn in watercolour paints and pencils, this detailed design evokes the creeping tendrils and flourishing blossoms found growing in an idyllic tropical cove. This Bird of Paradise is certainly colorful and has a bit of a Jacobean element to it, but the instructions state to use six strand floss instead of yarn. This is a free leaflet from Coats & Clark’s I came across in a pile of needlework pattern odds and ends.
Most of the time when I think of crewel embroidery, I think of a colorful Jacobean design done in yarn. This Bird of Paradise is certainly colorful and has a bit of a Jacobean element to it, but the instructions state to use six strand floss instead of yarn.

This is a free leaflet from Coats & Clark’s I came across in a pile of needlework pattern odds and ends. The bird of paradise is beautiful and I would imagine could be used in many ways besides embroidery.
The numbers for J&P Coats floss used for this design have changed. Fortunately, the instructions list the colors along with the numbers. In addition, I was able to pull up an image of a Coats & Clark’s ONT Six Strand Floss, Art. C. 11 color chart with coordinating numbers.
The Crewel Bird of Paradise is done in turquoise blues, hunter’s green, tropic orange and shaded yellows. As always, you are free to experiment and use whatever colors you’d like.
