Continuing the thinking from yesterday.....stitchery doodle number three, unruly, less precise, less pristine. Henrietta suggested number two might be lacking colour. I agree...it could be part of the reason number two is more ''posh'' but the main reason I have come to believe is simply that the cloth with number two is in itself more substantial. It is vintage but a better quality, a tighter weave, a thicker fibre.
This one, number three is vintage cloth, fragile vintage cloth, thinner vintage cloth, more worn and much softer. I like the dusky mauve on this.
