This kit contains everything needed to complete this beautiful needle case. It has a large 49cm square pure linen panel in a very tasteful charcoal grey colour. The fabric is 185gsm in weight making it beautiful to handle and work with, but the star of the show is the Au Ver a Soie pure wool thread set that accompanies it. There are five full skeins of four stranded pure wool from the Parisenne iconic family brand, which has been making silk and wool threads since the 1800's.
Suitable for all levels of stitchers including beginners, as instructions, a stitch guide, and video stitch tutorials are all included.
The case holds a 5" hoop in the large opening side panel, there is room to store scissors in the felt envelope pocket, and there is a linen needle storage panel to keep your needles safe. It is perfect for taking away on holiday to hold your embroidery projects whilst being able to stitch on the go.
