| Tristan Brooks Designs TBD3: Cresting the Hill |
|
|
| This sweet little design is worked on plain weave linen using quality Heathway hand-dyed crewel yarns from England, Gumnut Poppies (silk/wool blend), and Pearsall's silk for accents. The kit includes linen with design, all threads, needles, four-color instruction booklet and a detailed Stitch Glossary along with hints on perfecting your crewel embroidery. A hoop with deep sides, stretcher bars, or (best of all) a slate frame are recommended to keep your work drum tight while stitching, a real necessity when doing crewel. This design fits perfectly in the lid of a dowery box from Olde Colonial Designs. Another heirloom in the making! | |
