This is quite possibly one of my favourite kits. A crowned swan sitting on a bed of flowers.

The kit includes a 10” square piece of hand-printed antique linen together with the threads and instructions required to complete the pattern. The finished embroidery of this kit can be used in so many ways, and I don’t think is limited to just Christmas. The beautiful pastel flowers along with the delicate colours of the swan would look lovely as a wall hanging in a child’s bedroom, made into a cushion or even into a hanging lavender heart.

To complete the kit you will also need a packet of needles (a size 5 is a good all-rounder for beginners), a pair of small, sharp, needlework scissors and 5” embroidery hoop.

Note; because we antique linen then there will be variation in the colour, texture and weight from piece to piece.

The design measures approx 6cm x 7cm.

Ideal as gifts or for yourself, The Stitchery embroidery kits are designed with beginners in mind, as well as advanced stitchers. 

The aim is not to produce a perfect piece of needlework but to encourage the stitcher to slow down and enjoy a little old-fashioned calmness and serenity in a world that is becoming increasingly fast-paced and perhaps a little stressful at times.
