This is a pattern of straight stitches worked on a diagonal slant in a regular manner. 

Threads:

One of the lines is worked in yellow rayon ribbon floss and the rest are worked in a hand dyed wool which is about the same weight as Appletons a hand dyed baby knitting wool.

Procion cold water dyes for the threads

All samples are 15 cm (6 inches) wide and stitched together in one long band sampler.

The sampler is currently 44 ft 5 inches or 533 inches (1353.83 centimetres) or 14.8 yards  (13.53 metres) long and still being added to.

This section of the sampler was finished in November 2005.
