Kit Size

The kit comes without the sampler and stitch guide that were included in the Annual (issue four). You can get the Annual (issue four) with both here.

We adore a wee bit of embroidery. Whether it’s jazzing up an old knit, a project bag or making a sampler to display proudly on your bookshelf, embroidery adds that extra pizazz and makes even the most mundane object a thing of beauty!

In The Annual (issue four) we were thrilled to feature a very special sampler and stitch guide to show you how to make your own embroidered floral scene, courtesy of the fabulous Lorna of Stitch Birdie. We just couldn’t resist making some kits, so that you can recreate some of our delicious samples yourself. Your kit comes in a project bag so why not try recreating Lorna’s version of the sampler on the bag yourself?

Yarn Characteristics

Appledore Lace: Sourced from right here in the West Country, our Appledore blend encompasses our ethos of making local, uniquely heathered yarns. Packed full of woolly bounce and a smattering of lustre, it’s the perfect canvas for a range of playful shades. It’s our most durable yarn – great for hardwearing garments and accessories.

Care Instructions

We recommend that our yarns are gently washed before use as we don’t do any washing or conditioning after the yarns are spun and skeined. You’ll be amazed by how much the fibre blooms after a soak and it will certainly help you get a more accurate feel for gauge and character of the yarn over time.

Once your piece is finished, we recommend another hand wash before wet blocking the piece to the given dimensions. This will set all your stitches and guarantee that your garment looks its best.
