A heritage Sajou Bayeux Tapestry embroidery kit featuring the Crossing the Couesnon motif. Includes printed pattern chart, quality embroidery threads and linen base. Perfect for stitchers, history lovers and tapestry enthusiasts.
A beautiful Sajou cross stitch kit depicting the Crossing of the Couèsnon — one of the most dramatic scenes in the Bayeux Tapestry, showing Harold and the Norman soldiers wading through the treacherous tidal river to reach Mont Saint-Michel, with men and horses struggling against the current and some pulled to safety from the quicksands.
The scene captures a moment of peril and camaraderie in the early part of Harold's ill-fated journey to Normandy, before his capture by Count Guy of Ponthieu and his oath to William — an oath whose meaning and circumstances have been debated by historians ever since, and which William would use as justification for the Conquest.
The motif measures 200 x 89 points, giving a finished size of approximately 33.5 x 15 cm on 12-count embroidery linen. The chart is printed in matt finish so that notes and references can be written directly onto it.
The kit includes:
A printed pattern chart
Laine St Pierre embroidery wool
32-count sand linen embroidery fabric

Le canevas est plus court que la tapisserie, il manque au moins un cm de long. Frais de port à 15 € plus frais de douane à 22 €. Total de 110 € pour une toile trop courte et 8 bobines de laines. Je déconseille tout achat en Angleterre.
