The embroidery is worked in crewel wool threads that are hand dyed with natural dyes, creating similar tones to those seen in the original Tapestry. All the stitches will be covered on the day and you'll be provided with a detailed instruction booklet to enable you to complete the design after the course.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis class is suitable for all levels of skill, from beginner to advanced.
