My spools of silk threads arrived from Vicki Clayton this morning. Aren't they just gorgeous colours? From top to bottom OMG red, Mermaid Blue and Imperialosity and the two linen fabrics are 32ct natural brown and 36ct flax. I think I will be using the flax but I am still undecided as to which of the silks to use and think I might just throw all three into a bag and pick one out!

OMG, I had a huge response, that just poofed! LOL
Okay, here's what I normally do:
Decide just how much you want the fiber to stand out on the fabric. None of the colors you've chosen will stand out on the natural as much as they will the flax. The bottom color (green?) will not stand out on either fabric as much as the blue and red. I'm currently using an OMG Red on Elegant Bean for my French Alphabet Sampler and I love it.
Find a nickel sized snowflake type medallion and stitch it on the border of each fabric in all 3 fibers. This will give you a chance to see how the blend of the fiber will work on both fabrics.
