Needle Painting Kit – Acorn Woodpecker
The Acorn Woodpecker is for all levels of embroiderers with the instructions written with the beginner in mind with lots of diagrams and detailed instructions for each stage of the embroidery.
The embroidery is worked in DMC embroidery cotton threads on 100% cotton fabric, working straight stitches, blending shades of colour to create the realistic effect.
Visit the Needle Painting Information webpage for more information on the technique.
Needle Painting – Thread Painting Kits
All my needle painting kits come with detailed instructions that can guide any level of stitcher through the embroidery. If you have not done much surface embroidery then I suggest starting with a beginners or all levels kit to familiarize yourself with the technique and then progress onto the intermediate and advanced designs.
The kits come with the design drawn or printed onto the fabric so that you can immediately begin stitching. The threads come organized on numbered thread templates so that you can easily locate the thread to use on the embroidery.
The kits include needles and needle threaders, all you need to provide is an embroidery frame to work the embroidery in such as a stretcher bar frame with thumb tacks or hoop and a pair of embroidery scissors.
A needle painting kit will provide you with hours of entertainment and you will produce an embroidery you will be proud of.
