Ponga Log

Rich dark chocolate brown, like the logs of the NZ brown tree fern. Ponga logs are a favourite - and very eco-friendly - option for ornamental fences and edgings in NZ gardens. More of a dark flesh tone on evenweaves, particularly Lugana.

DMC approximation is between 3371 and 838 on linen and a good match for 632 on evenweave. Because of the intensity of this colour, it may bleed - if in doubt, pre-wash your fabric before using, and try to avoid washing it after it has been stitched.

This colour works well on all available fabrics, with linen giving the brightest results. Lugana, other evenweaves and Aida give paler (more muted) results. It was created to be a good alternative for the discontinued Zweigart Cashel colour Dark Chocolate.
