Part of our wonderful collaboration with British artist and printmaker Mark Hearld, this needlepoint kit brings his distinctive artwork to life in wool and stitch. Inspired by the flora and fauna of the British countryside, Mark's work is celebrated for its extraordinary use of colour, pattern and texture.
We've worked carefully to translate the intricate details of his original collages into needlepoint, capturing everything from the subtle variations in his hand-painted papers to the expressive marks of his oil pastels.
These round cushions are large and measure 50cm by 50cm finished. It is a large project and would expect to take 9 to 12 months to complete if you are stitching for a few hours a week! The kit includes a 14-count printed canvas, all the wool pre-cut into stitching lengths, tapestry needles, a printed stitch chart and detailed instructions. Worked entirely in simple tent stitch, it's suitable for beginners as well as experienced stitchers.Â
Once completed, your needlepoint can be made into a beautiful cushion or framed as a piece of artwork to enjoy for years to come.
