Each wondrous box is a treasure trove of fabric and trims for your slow stitching project. Celebrate the mysterious Sherwood forest in autumn with over sixteen pieces of quality new fabric which will include designer brands, hand printed originals, Scottish Tweed and Irish Linen. Legendary residence of Robin Hood and his merry men and populated by ancient oak trees, one thought to be between 800 and 1100 years old. Sherwood forest looks at its best in autumn and we have selected fabrics and trims in all of the wondrous colours. One or two of the pieces are plain to allow you to add your own embellishment, painting, stamping or journal notes. Included in each kit will also be a small piece of even weave or aida, so you can even add your own cameo cross stitch. Some of the trims and ribbons may be vintage but will always be unused and these will include silk ribbon, lace and embellishments. We include a range complimentary DMC or Madeira embroidery threads and we will even include a needle pack with a threader and John James high quality needles. Packs of buttons and coordinating beads and sequins complete the kit and where possible, these are either vintage or made from natural, sustainable materials. Fabrics included in this kit may vary but will stay on theme and are based on autumnal hues of the legendary Sherwood Forest. These will range from russet to mature greens, golds and red tones.
