Cute Candy Canes in Kreinik's New Chevron Ribbon

Princess and Me C722

I wanted to use Kreinik's new Chevron 1/16 ribbon after reading this from their website:

"The new Chevron Ribbon is available in five colors: 4505 Zebra, 4507 Salmon, 4503 Red Snapper, 4522 Gnu, 4536 Tiger. Use it in a variety of stitches, but especially in long stitches, herringbone, bargello, satin stitch, and similar, where you can see the pattern. It can look like bird feathers or animal prints, or it can simply add another level of visual interest to a design. Stitch a chevron ribbon in a Chevron Stitch? Yes! Give it a try and see what new patterns you can create." 

I mean, who wouldn't want to try this thread after reading that?  I was already working on the Princess and Me Christmas Owl pictured above and decided to try it on the candy canes.

Here is a closeup:

I think it worked quite well.  It is thick on 18 count canvas, which gives it good loft, and because it's a ribbon it must be laid.

Here is what this thread looks like on the spool:

Red Snapper 4503

I also bought Tiger, #4536, which is orange and black.  Halloween, here we come!
