Pendant – Metal Thread Pendant Kit
$45.56 USD
The Metal Thread Pendant is a beginners project.
The embroidery is worked by sewing down strands of pearl purl which is a coiled metal thread, the stitches are hidden in the coils of the thread. In-between the lines of pearl purl are sections of gold soft metal beads.
I have also include a brooch pattern and brooch pin in case you prefer to make a brooch instead of a pendant.
Once the kits I have in stock are sold, I will only be selling the instructions as a PDF Digital Download and you will need to purchase the supplies elsewhere.

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.
