What else will I need?

We recommend using a Hands Free Seat Frame with an 8 inch hoop and with paddle base or table clamp. Alternatively you may prefer to use a Slate Frame or other frame of your choice. You will also need a pair of scissors and a thimble if you use one.

How long will it take me?

Everyone stitches at different speeds and tensions but as a guide, this design should take around 10 hours.

Stag away

Excellent in every way

Makes complete sense.

The kit is both beautiful and functional . The design has a lovely balance of design and negative space with gorgeous winter/ Christmassy colours.
The way the wool is laid out on a sticky tape is inspired and the colour chart is clear and instructions, together with the videos , are easy to follow with helpful hints like how to pull wool out without tangling. ( Although I prefer not to use the cling film idea as it’s plastic , but use an old piece of linen to wrap around the outer frame instead. )

My first and a favorite

Lovely materials, clear instructions and a good introduction to crewel. It was my first project and, it happens, a good choice. I love the design, it looks to me like a pesky deer eating away at my garden.
