Meet a new addition to the popular Sunflower range, 'Strawberry Sunflower' contains an extra large pure heavyweight linen fabric panel measuring 48 x 48cm.
The linen fabric is a natural beige/grey colour and is in excess of 340gsm, making it beautiful to stitch onto, and perfect for making cushions or bags with.
Strawberry Sunflower has gorgeous shades of strawberry pinks mixed with pale apricot, lilac, deep pink and a creamy sunflower colour that just makes it all pop. It's perfect for the Spring/Summer to brighten up any area of the house.
The kit is suitable for beginners and advanced stitchers alike, and this design is great for learning stitches as it is double sided, learn the stitches on one side, and then practice them some more on the other side.
Containing pure wool threads in Pure British Wool, the light weight 4 ply wool is an absolute joy to stitch with as it's squidgy enough to hide imperfections, but it still has a form to it that creates very neat stitches with minimum effort. In terms of thickness, the wool is a fine 4 ply with the thickness of 2 ply.
Suitable for all levels of stitchers including beginners as full instructions, a stitch guide, and video stitch tutorials are all included.
Included in the kit:
- Pure heavyweight linen fabric panel, 48 x 48cm.
- Pure British Wool threads, cut into ready to stitch lengths and stored on a macrame ring.
- John James Chenille embroidery needle.
- Full colour printed instruction booklet with a stitch guide.
