Thread Colors for My Adirondack Chair Needlepoint Canvas 🌲🎀

One of the questions I get asked most often is, “What threads do you use for your Adirondack Chair needlepoint canvas?” — and I completely understand why! 

There are so many green fibers out there that it can be hard to know which ones will look best together. But don’t worry — I’ve done the work for you! After lots of experimenting, this combination of greens, greys, and whites gives the canvas its realistic, coastal charm.

🎄 Greens (for the wreaths)

• Essentials Wreath 730

• Essentials Foliage 728

• Essentials Eucalyptus 727

These three shades layer beautifully together — I like mixing them to create that natural variation you see in real wreaths. They blend seamlessly to give a soft, realistic texture that makes each wreath feel full and fresh.

🐘 Greys (for shading + details)

• Essentials Elephant 509

• Essentials Bunny 506

They add just enough contrast to make the white of the chair pop without looking too harsh. These subtle greys keep everything balanced and polished.

🎀 Wreath Bow

• Neon Rays NP26

• Neon Rays NP21

• Neon Rays NP12

I love combining these reds to get that perfect festive tone with a hint of sheen — it’s the little detail that brings the whole piece together.

🪑 Adirondack Chair

• Vineyard Silk C109 Bright White

A clean, bright white that keeps the whole piece feeling fresh, coastal, and timeless.

Each of these threads works beautifully together to create the look you see on my finished canvas. If you stitch one yourself, I’d love to see it — tag me on Instagram so I can share your version!

✨ Happy stitching!
