- Hand painted designs on monofil or penelope, or printed designs on penelope.
- DMC Medici wool and/or hand-dyed wool at Aubusson, France
- Needlepoint needles.
- Instructions for the stitch to be used according to the canvas you pick.
The Gobelin or Aubusson stitch on a penelope canvas imitates the old tapestries and is quite easy to learn. They put instructions and drawings in each kit. If you have a problem, email them and they will assist you.
Diva Tip: Perhaps my favorite feature of the store is that if you have an antique armchair you’d like to recover Tapisseries de la Bûcherie gives you instructions on to-make-armchair-needlepoint.asp”>how you can create your own needlepoint pattern for your armchair!
