About our tapestry & embroidery kits
Cross stitch is home, but it is not the only room in the house. Our tapestry cross stitch kits and embroidery kits let you wander: tapestry (needlepoint) swaps aida for a stiffer printed canvas and wool for cotton, building dense, hard-wearing pieces that make wonderful cushions and wall hangings, while embroidery kits open the door to freestyle stitches - stem stitch, satin stitch, French knots - on pre-printed cotton designs, mostly florals and botanicals in a hoop. Both crafts share cross stitch's virtues (portable, calming, deeply satisfying) and both welcome cross stitchers warmly, since your thread control and patience transfer straight across. Every kit follows our everything-in-the-box rule: canvas or fabric, wools or threads, needle and clear instructions, with hoops included on most embroidery designs. Free UK delivery on orders over £20, dispatched within 48 hours, and covered by the 100% money-back guarantee.
Tapestry & Embroidery Kits - FAQs
What is the difference between tapestry and cross stitch?
Tapestry (needlepoint) uses one diagonal stitch in wool on stiff printed canvas, covering it completely. It is simpler stitch-wise and makes robust pieces like cushions.
Will I manage embroidery if I can cross stitch?
Yes - the new stitches take an evening to learn and the kits include stitch guides. Your existing thread skills do most of the work.
Are hoops included with embroidery kits?
Most include the hoop the design is finished in - check the contents list on each product page.
