Dimensions Needlecrafts 20053 Needlepoint by Kathryn White, Hydrangea Bloom

I have done a lot of needlepoint in the past but this was the most difficult. The wools are attractive colours but it is very complicated to work out which colour to use for each stitch. There is a chart with numbers and patterns, these are looked up in a table which gives you another number for the colour. Then you have to find this colour on two cards with sample wools on, there are 33 different colours but they are not on the cards in any sensible or numerical order so you have to search through each time. I will finish it but it is very slow work.

Am in the process of sewing this kit . The kit is well supplied with wools and a detailed chart for following the colour blends. I would say this kit is not suitable for a novice , the colour details are quite finely sewn and reference to the chart and colour numbers is essential. The result is great and the finished work unusual and striking.

got on sale for a fab price . i look forward to getting it done its a lovely looking kit

Not the best tapestry wool which spoils the effort put into the work for a lovely tapestry.

Too hard. Much more effort than I thought so gave it to my mum! Wasn't normal wool onto canvas like your average tapestry.
