Goldwork Phoenix Kit
Goldwork Phoenix Kit
$145.00 CAD
The Goldwork Phoenix design is a combination of metal thread and counted thread embroidery.
The design is worked on black 25 count Lugana fabric. First a tacked outline of the design is transferred onto the fabric, then the flames are worked in simple blackwork pattern in 4 shades of metallic threads and outlined in pearl purl.
The wings and tail feathers of the Phoenix are worked in 15 different types of metal threads in shades of gold, copper and pewter.
Once the kits I have in stock are sold, I will only be selling the instructions for the Goldwork Phoenix as a PDF Digital Download and you will need to purchase the supplies elsewhere.

Goldwork and Beading Pad
Sorry I am not mailing the goldwork and beading pad to the USA at this time.
A goldwork and beading pad is a brilliant piece of Velux/velvet like fabric which you can use to place goldwork threads on and cut them and place spangles and beads on so they will stay in one place rather than skidding across a table surface when working with them.

Needles – Beading
I carry the hard to find short beading needles which are excellent for goldwork embroidery when the size 10 embroidery/crewel needle will not fit through the center of purl or bullion threads. The needles are also good for very fine needle painting/thread painting. The needles are 1 1/4 inch ( 3 1/4 cm) long. The beading needles have a long slender eye for easier threading and a choice of sharp point or tapestry (ball) point. I carry size 12 (finest).
The size 12 short sharp beading needles are equivalent to the size 12 crewel embroidery needles.
I also carry (regular) long beading needles for your beading needs which are 2 inches (5 cm) long.

Needles – Size 10 or 12 Crewel Embroidery
The size 10 crewel embroidery needle is used in my surface embroidery kits such as: Carrickmacross Lace, Fine White Work, Goldwork, Modern Jacobean, Needle Painting and Shadow Work.
My kits come with two needles but you may want to purchase more of the needles as size 10 embroidery/crewel needles, in case you mislay your needle as the size 10 crewel embroidery needles can be hard to find in craft stores as they are smaller than regular sewing needles.
I also carry the size 12 crewel embroidery needles. I often use these for sewing down purl threads in goldwork or if I am working a very fine needle painting design.
