Mini Stitch Guide: Ship Color Swap

Color swapping is when you stitch a needlepoint canvas in a different color than it was painted. It is a great way to flex creativity and customize your canvas to suit your personal taste. Below we are sharing a color swap for our ship series, which leans into more classic colors. We hope this inspires you to try color swapping on future projects.
