A Brief Dictionary of Stitches is the first embroidery kit in the collection. It comes in a gorgeous Rococo pink and raspberry embroidery box hand made in Paris. Inside the box, the kit contains an embroidery pattern screen printed by French artisans on the softest Italian linen, woven by the Graziano family for centuries. The sturdy birch wood embroidery hoop is carved, sanded and waxed to a smooth perfection by Elbessee in England. The heirloom 9cm gold plated embroidery stork scissors is forged by Locau, a family who are passionate about reviving and preserving the craft of scissor making in France. A little needle book holds the sharpest Bohin embroidery needles, manufactured in Aigle for over 200 years. An envelope contains the finest silk embroidery threads made by Au Ver a Soie in Paris, a family run business who have been spinning their sumptuous Soie d’Alger floss for over 200 years! There’s even a Stitch Guide with Rebecca’s hand drawn illustrations and clear, easy instructions to complete your pattern.
