Pepita Needlepoint kit: Tallit Bargello 2, 12" x 10"

DescriptionSimple but elegant bargello pattern in an array of colors. Bargello is a type of needlepoint embroidery consisting of upright flat stitches laid in a mathematical pattern to create motifs. The name originates from a series of chairs found in the Bargello palace in Florence, which have a "flame stitch" pattern. Traditionally, Bargello was stitched in wool on canvas. Embroidery done this way is remarkably durable. It is well suited for use on pillows, upholstery and even carpets, but not for clothing. In most traditional pieces, all stitches are vertical with stitches going over two or more threads.About This CanvasPrinted needlepoint canvas is fun for every level of stitcher, from beginner through advanced.
