This Tapestry Kit measures 16" x 16" (approximately 41cm) includes all the necessary wool and materials needed to complete your cushion cover. When finished the worked canvas measures approximately 16.5" x 16.5" (42cm x 42cm). All you need to find at home to complete the project are some scissors and a square 16" / 40cm cushion pad to fit. Then you're good to go! Contents . . . .all in a pretty organza bag so you can keep your wools safely throughout the project.
I have especially loved designing this project not only because of the vibrant colours but also because of the contrasting textures the different stitches create.
I hope you agree that this Stripey Sampler Cushion is a really pretty item. It’s such fun to do and it’s lovely to end up with something really useful too. Also, it might be a great gift for any friends or family.
The Appletons wool included in all my kits is British from sheep to needle – it comes from the Yorkshire wool markets and is also dyed and spun in Yorkshire. Appletons prides itself on the quality and consistency of the wool it produces. It was founded in 1835 by Thomas Appleton and has a long history that includes being used by the famous 19th century designer William Morris.
