A Espera / The Waiting Beginner Needlepoint Kit

This is a high-quality printed canvas suitable for beginners and with a modern design, that can be transformed into a beautiful wall hanging, or stitched in a tote bag or pillow case. The creativity is the limit!

We love the feeling of nostalgia that this "A Espera" (The Waiting) brings to us! The tranquility, lonely but yet serene atmosphere that you can recreate for you.

What is included in the “Complete Needlepoint Kit” option 

• Original artwork printed in premium Zweigart Interlock 12 HPI canvas, with edges sewed with cotton bias tape
• 2 John James tapestry needles
• Flyer with the color threads mapping so you can start stitching quickly. 
• DMC Soft Cotton threads with enough quantity to stitch with the continental tent stitch (more information in the FAQ's below; if you need more thread, leave a note at checkout)
• Needlepoint booklet with instructions on starting needlepoint, tips for selecting needlepoint stitches, and a library of favorite stitches
• Our bespoke tube packaging, portable and sustainable & perfect for gifting.
• Featured artwork: “A Espera / The Waiting”, Paola Saliby
• Printed design measures 14x14 cm / 5.5x5.5 in

When you buy the “Printed canvas only” option, all the above is included except the threads, and just a single needle. It’s the perfect option if you want to create your own color variation, or re-use threads and yarn you might have at home!

Please note that we only include 1 printed Needlepoint booklet per order. If you add a gift note at checkout, then we’ll add one per kit. Any questions let us know.

♥ PLASTIC FREE
It's the little things that matter. We're careful to use only eco-friendly materials, that you can reuse or recycle!

♥ GIFTS
All our kits come beautifully packaged with our bespoke portable tubes or small boxes, making them a perfect gift for you or a friend.

*

In order to be more sustainable, we try to reduce the materials used for packaging:

During Nov & Dec:

All kits and canvases will be shipped into individual tubes/canisters or small boxes, unless you let us know you prefer to receive optimized packaging, to help us preserve the planet!

Rest of the year:

When you buy more than one kit or canvas, we always try to accommodate them in a single packaging tube or small box, and only 1 printed needlepoint booklet is included.

However, if you add a gift message at checkout, or let us know in advance that you are buying for a gift, we make sure to ship all projects into individual packages.
