The kit comprises linen fabric, seven skeins of tapestry wool, metallic gold thread, a hand transferred design, full instructions with a detailed stitch guide, diagram and photos, and a chenille needle. All kept tidy in a neat little box.
You will learn use some of the basic stitches used in the Tapestry: laid couching, stem stitch, satin stitch, French knots and split stitch. This is a lovely project if you like surface embroidery.
