Made with only French knots, this striking design is easy to master, even for beginners.Tonal shades are selected to create a dramatic colour-wheel effect that will add real impact to your interiors.
Through step-by-step instructions, you'll learn the fundamentals of embroidering wall art, from using French knots to transferring the motif to finishing the back of the embroidery.
Laura Strutt says, "This slow stitching craft is a very keen departure from the high-tech, ultra-busy schedules many of us face, making hand embroidery a fabulous crafty antidote for hectic modern lives!"
