The Chinese Seal Script is a very old script. It had its peak in the Qin-Dynasty (221 bc -207 bc). It can be found on old stones and potery. Today the Seal Script is only used in Seals and in the art. Seals are always red in China, therefore I think red is a good color for the yarn. But you may of course use any yarn you like. For more information on Seal Script see: 1
