Stitch-your-own Chess Board in DMC Coloris Threads

Description

This chessboard has been designed using variagated DMC Coloris thread range, however it can be stitched in any colour. The Chessboard displayed here has been stitched on Antique White Aida with DMC Coloris thread number 4504.

Each square of the board as a different Blackwork Embroidery design whilst the frame is cross stitch and the border an innovative mix of Cross Stitch & Blackwork embroidery styles bringing life and structure to the chessboard and creating a uniquely beautiful design.

Once stitched the board can be framed or presented on a wooden board under glass to protect your hard-work and the love and passion you put into your stitching
Alternatively It is also foldable for travelling unlike many cardboard versions – we even have a customer who has leather backed her kits for use when camping
It is cotton so can be washed in warm water without running - and irons well
The 18 count Aida offers the tension required to provide a flat playing surface for the games pieces – linen can gather more if your tension is not uniform in your stitches
