Sajou Museum & Heritage Tinctorial Plants cross stitch chart — Dahlia. Full-colour A3 chart in decorative sleeve. Motif 77 x 200 points; on 12 count linen the finished size is approximately 12.8 x 33.3cm.
A Sajou Museum & Heritage cross stitch chart featuring the dahlia — one of the most striking of all the tinctorial plants.
Native to Mexico and arriving in Europe at the end of the 18th century, the dahlia takes its Latin name from the Swedish botanist Andreas Dahl. The petals of the darker flowers yield gorgeous violets, garnets and deep reds — colours that have long been prized by dyers of French textiles.
The motif is 77 points wide by 200 points high. Worked on 12 count linen, the finished piece measures approximately 12.8 x 33.3cm — a slender, elegant design ideal for framing or as part of a larger tinctorial plants display.
The full-colour chart is printed on a large A3 sheet with full working instructions, and comes in a Sajou decorative sleeve.
Part of Sajou's Museum & Heritage Tinctorial Plants series. See also the large Tinctorial Plants chart featuring the full collection of dyeing plants.
Materials: A3 chart in decorative sleeve. Made in France.
