Sajou Museum & Heritage Large Cross Stitch Kit- The Bayeux Tapestry

Description and Details

A beautiful, large cross stitch kit containing a Sajou cross stitch chart depicting scenes from the Bayeux Tapestry along with 25 cards of Laine St Pierre embroidery wool and 70 cm square piece of 32 count linen embroidery fabric in sand colour required to complete the chart.

The Bayeux tapestry measures almost 64 meters in length and this chart shows some of the major scenes from the tapestry. There are two additions to the chart, there is a map to show the site of the events surrounding the Battle of Hastings, and there are coloured tassels included in the chart, in order to show that the whole tapestry was worked in just seven colours.

The pattern chart is 68 x 80 cm for ease of use given the complexity of the design, it is printed in matt and can be written on should you need to mark any references.

I also have pattern charts and smaller kits of the separate scenes shown in this large kit available in my shop.

The back of the chart has explanations for the embroidery and it is also and is teeming with historical and cultural information regarding the Bayeux Tapestry and the the history surrounding the Battle of Hastings.

The size of the motif is 337 x 337 points.

Materials: 32 Count Linen, Laine St Pierre Embroidery wool, Cross Stitch Embroidery Chart.
