Crewel Embroidery Kit The Orchid Collector
The Orchid Collector, great kit for the advanced stitcher or a beginner who would like to extend there skills in Crewel Work,
The Orchid Collector design is highly inspired by our wild Bee orchid and classical art nouveau deigns. We live in an area which has thriving colony of Bee orchids growing naturally, which we are lucky to see every summer, I just love the velvety flowers which nature has designed to mimic bees to attract them. The kit has a fun range of stitches and techniques to enjoy.
(I've marked this kit 'Advanced' due to some of the techniques 'pendant Couching and Raised Fishbone stitch', they are not difficult but possibly fiddly if you haven't worked them before, I recommend practising on a separate piece of fabric first before committing to the main design.)
