Sajou French Cement Tile Basketweave Needlepoint Tapestry Chart- Lagorce

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 Lagorce, a village 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.

This chart is also available as a complete kit. See also the Donzère, Viviers and Villedieu basketweave charts for companion designs from the same Ardèche tile series.

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