The Jacobean Tree with Bird is an advanced crewel surface embroidery technique. I am discontinuing this kit. If you are new to the technique you may want to try a smaller design first as this design is large and will take some time to stitch. The design uses traditional Jacobean motifs and is stitched in Appleton’s crewel wool on traditional linen twill fabric. Appleton’s Crewel Wool’s in the Kit are the Traditional Jacobean Colours (Earthy Shades): Jacobean Green: 5 Shades (closest to DMC embroidery floss No. 524 – 520 range) Dull Marine Blue: 3 Shades (closest to DMC embroidery floss No. 3753 – 3750 range) Terra Cotta Range: 6 Shades (closest to DMC embroidery floss No. 950 – 632 range) Fabric: Traditional Jacobean Linen Twill Natural Colour (closest to DMC floss No. 822) There are 22 surface embroidery stitches worked on in a single strand of the crewel wool on natural colour traditional Jacobean linen twill fabric. The linen twill fabric comes with the design printed on so you do not have to be concerned about transferring the design yourself and the Appleton crewel wool’s come numbered with a colour guide so you know exactly which colour to use on the embroidery. In the kit I provide a 19 page detailed instruction booklet with lots of step-by-step diagrams and instructions on how to work each stitch. I am offering free on-going critique with this kit…..you can email me at any time if you have questions or would like me to critique your embroidery.
