For anyone who has just discovered this presentation and is asking the question, "What is TAPESTRY?" perhaps we should explain...
Names may vary around the world, Tapestry, Canvaswork, Needlepoint, Cross Stitch, are just a few. In the New Zealand context, Tapestry is the art of working a design with wool or cotton thread onto a woven tapestry canvas base. The design may be completely free-hand, counted from a chart, or worked onto a pre-printed canvas. It is the pre-printed canvases we are featuring here.
Threads and stitches may
vary to give special effects. This is particularly so on cushions, wall hangings and
free-hand work. But the pictorial work featured here tends to be worked in a repetitive
stitch, such as Half Cross Stitch or Longstitch. Which ever stitch you choose to use on
your pictorial design, please ensure all stitches lay the same way so that they are in
harmony.
Please advise us if you also require threads to be included with your canvas. We are able to include DMC Laine Colbert Tapestry Wool or DMC Six Thread Stranded Cotton Floss.
