Jacobean Tree with Bird Kit
$75.17 USD
The Jacobean Tree with Bird is an advanced crewel surface embroidery technique. If you are new to the technique you may want to try a smaller design first as this design is large and will take some time to stitch.

There are 22 surface embroidery stitches worked on in a single strand of the crewel wool on natural colour traditional Jacobean linen twill fabric.

Needles – Size 4 Crewel Embroidery – Richard and Hemming
The size 4 crewel embroidery needle is used in my Jacobean Crewel embroidery kits.
The kit comes with one needle but you may want to purchase more of the needles in case you mislay your needle.
The needle has a long eye for easier threading, a slender shaft and a sharp point to the needle so that the stitches can be worked close together and there is more control for the placement of the stitches.

19 inch by 24 inch Stretcher Bar Frame and Thumb Tacks
I recommend the stretcher bar frame to work my hand embroidery kit in because the frame is quick to assemble and the fabric stays taught in the frame. The frame comes with brass thumb tacks and a tack remover. The frame can be used over and over so if you purchase more than one of my kits you can use the same frame if it is the right size.
