Sajou French Cement Tile Basketweave Needlepoint Tapestry Chart- Viviers

Description and Details

A Sajou basketweave needlepoint tapestry chart inspired by the French cement tiles that were fashionable across France in the mid-1800s — named after Viviers, a town in the Ardèche region that produced them.

The chart comprises three repeating elements: a motif, a border, and a corner. Because each element is repeatable, you can work your tapestry to any size you wish.

Using 5.2 mono canvas, each element measures 3.8cm — simply calculate the number of motifs and borders needed for your chosen dimensions.

If you love cross stitch but find the fine count harder on the eyes, tapestry is a wonderful alternative: the warp and weft are more visible, making each stitch quicker and easier to place.

See also the Donzère, Lagorce and Villedieu basketweave charts for companion designs from the same Ardèche tile series.

Materials: A3 chart in decorative sleeve. Made in France.
