Description and Details
A beautiful, large gift box containing all that you need to make this beautiful Sajou hand embroidered linen throw, decorated with traditional motifs taken from Sajou's vintage archives.
The project is perfect for both beginners and seasoned embroiderers and the small size of the linen squares makes it a perfect project for working during the commute, on lunch hours, for taking on holidays, and filling up any spare time you might have (trust me, it becomes an addictive compulsion to work this piece!). It is also a wonderful project to share with younger cross stitchers who are still learning and need to see results as the piece grows.
Contained in the box are 72 linen squares in 17 colours, 36 cards of Laine Sainte Pierre embroidery wool, the Red Sajou Album No. 906 which contains motifs from Sajou's vintage archives, 9 meters of striped petersham ribbon for the borders and edges, along with instructions for making up the throw.
The finished throw measures 99 x 88 cm/ 39 x 34.5 inches.
This embroidered project is legendary! It was first published as a project featured in the 'Maison Sajou Point de Croix' book as a way of using up scraps of linen and left over embroidery threads, creating a real masterpiece. Due to high demand from customers who wished to rise to the challenge, Sajou began to produce the project as a boxed kit.
Materials: 32 Count Linen, Petersham Braid, Sajou Mini Cross Stitch Album 906, Laine St Pierre Embroidery wool, Cross Stitch Embroidery Chart.
