Bay of Islands

Brilliant blue of the sparkling waters of the stunningly beautiful Bay of Islands in New Zealand's far north.

Closest DMC match is between 996 and 3843 on linen, and brighter than 799 on evenweaves. 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.
