The Despina's Anemone folk embroidery kit originates in a stunning tablecloth a friend of mine shared with me. Her mother, Despina, stitched it for her prika, a collection of embroidered tablecloths, cushion covers, and other handmade textiles that family members gift to a Greek bride so she can beautify her new home, a tradition which dates back centuries in Greece. Kit includes: 26ct 100% cotton Traditional Groundcloth in natural, DMC 100% cotton embroidery floss, John James size 24 needle, full color charts and instructions (a PDF copy of the pattern will also be sent to you).
This high quality kit comes with:-
- One 14" x 20" piece of 26ct 100% cotton Traditional Groundcloth in Natural
- DMC Embroidery Threads
- Full colour chart and instructions
- John James size 24 tapestry needle.
The raw edges of the fabric are serged for your convenience, so you can start stitching as soon as you open the kit.
