There's something quietly addictive about bargello. With each stitch, a bold, graphic pattern begins to emerge from the canvas - and before you know it, you're completely absorbed. This kit gives you everything you need to create a beautiful floral wall hanging, and introduces you to a craft you'll want to come back to again and again.
What is bargello?
Bargello is a fun and easy-to-pick-up type of needlepoint craft. It uses tapestry wool in straight stitches to build the design. Originating in Italy in the 17th century, bargello made a comeback in the 70s, which introduced bright and groovy patterns, and it is back again with modern designs.
What you'll make
Working with tapestry wool and a pre-printed canvas, you'll follow the included pattern to build up a bright floral design using straight stitches in graduating colours. The rhythm of bargello is part of what makes it so enjoyable - once you've got the hang of the stitch, it's wonderfully meditative. When your stitching is complete, you'll finish the piece by attaching the wooden dowels, leaving you with a beautiful, ready-to-hang piece of wall art.
A gift worth giving
Presented with quality materials and clear instructions, this kit makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who'd love to try a new craft. No experience is needed, just a willingness to pick up a needle and see what happens.
