Omppu Needlepoint Beginner Ornament Kit

Our "Omppu" Christmas ornament was designed by the artist Eija Vehviläinen, featuring a bright red apple, a staple for Christmas festive dishes and sweets! This juicy fruit would be a great shiny addition to your Christmas tree!

Fun fact: the name "Omppu" comes from the Finnish slang word for "omena", which means apple.

What is included in the “Complete Needlepoint Kit” option 

• Original artwork printed in premium Zweigart Interlock 13 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.
• Rosários 4 Merino Wool 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.

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.
