• Laid and couched work

Kit contents:

• Handwoven linen with hand-printed design
• Embroidery needle
• Complete skeins of 2-ply lambswool crewel wool threads
• Fully illustrated step-by-step instruction booklet, including stitch guides and colour charts

You will also need:

• An embroidery hoop
• Embroidery scissors
• A pencil

Handmade in the UK.

Please note: Due to the use of handwoven linen, produced to the specifications of the original Bayeux Tapestry fabric, and naturally dyed crewel wool threads, this kit is made in limited quantities.
