Blackwork came to England from Spain with Catherine of Aragon in 1501. It's diaper patterns originated from intricate Moorish patterns. It was widely used during the Tudor period on clothing, particularly on cuffs and collars, where it was worked to be the same on both sides of the fabric.
 
This elegant stylised blackwork tulip comprises a 32cm x 35cm square of white evenweave linen in either 20hpi or 28hpi (please specify when ordering), one skein of black stranded cotton, one skein of gold stranded thread, tissue paper to transfer the design, full instructions with a detailed stitch guide, diagram and photos, an embroidery needle and a tapestry needle. All kept tidy in a neat little box.
 
Five diaper patterns are covered, as well as seeding and stem stitch. This is an excellent grounding for then moving onto the next stage!  The finished embroidery measures 17cm high by 17cm wide.
 
Suitable for beginners.

If returning an item, please include details of your name, address and telephone/e-mail contact.

If you are not satisfied with your item I will happily refund the purchase price once the item is returned and deemed to be in a re-saleable condition, provided it is returned to me within 30 days of receipt (in the original unused condition), postage paid by the sender. Always ask for a Proof of Posting Certificate, as we will need a copy of this should your parcel get lost in the post. I do not refund delivery postage or return postage should you not be satisfied with the item.
Delivery: Unless otherwise requested, all items are posted by Royal Mail's First Class Signed or Tracked service to all UK addresses. For items available in stock I aim to despatch within 3 days of receiving an order.

Where International Postage is offered on an item, the price quoted is for the Royal Mail 'International Signed For' airmail service.

Please understand the seller will not be held responsible for delay due to any customs intervention.
