Description

PippinKits Bargello Tapestry Kits are so simple to make (they require just one simple stitch) but are so eye-catching when theyu2019re finished. I have loved designing this Bargello project and am very excited ud83dude06 to share this beautiful and traditional style of tapestry.

The Appletons wool included in all my kits is British from sheep to needle ? it comes from the Yorkshire wool markets and is also dyed and spun in Yorkshire. Appletons prides itself on the quality and consistency of the wool it produces. It was founded in 1835 by Thomas Appleton and has a long history that includes being used by the famous 19th century designer William Morris.

Itu2019s hard to believe that Bargello (which originated in Italy) has been around for centuries because it looks so modern and vibrant. Itu2019s quick to work up, creating stunning patterns which are so full of colour. Perhaps it would make a lovely gift for friends or family members who might enjoy some proper thread therapy.

I hope you agree that this Bargello Cushion is a really pretty item. Itu2019s such fun to do and itu2019s lovely to end up with something really useful too.

All the necessary wool and materials are included in each PippinKits Bargello Tapestry Cushion Kit along with detailedu00a0instructions. When finished it measures approximately 16`x16` (40cm x 40cm). All you need to find at home to complete the project areu00a0some scissors and a 16` cushion pad - then you're good to go!u00a0
