This perky little squirrel will win your heart as he ponders a ripe strawberry. The delightful scene is stitched with quality Heathway hand-dyed crewel yarns from England, Gumnuts and Appletons crewel yarns with 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.
