Swedish Embroidery Panel + Linen Thread Set
These Swedish Embroidery Panels are so gorgeous, even if you've never embroidered, you're going to be inspired to start!
- Originally designed by the classic Swedish needlework supplier, Nordiska, these reprints of their 1960s designs look as fresh now as they did then, a little bit quirky, expertly rendered, and totally beautiful!
- Created in a collaboration between Nordiska's archive, Studio Flax, and Purl Soho, each design starts with a hand drawn image that is used to hand screenprint onto 100% linen fabric (whose natural color may vary slightly)... No machines or computers here!
- Every panel comes with a pattern that shows color placement and includes a list of the stitches used. And for more detailed information about which stitches we used where, just scroll down to Product Details for a free supplemental Stitch Guide.
Also from Studio Flax and Purl Soho, the accompanying Linen Embroidery Thread Set includes ten 15-yard skeins in ten colors. A beautiful replication of the vintage threads and colors originally created by Nordiska, this 100% linen thread creates lovely stitch definition in colors that absolutely glow! For best results, we recommend using a size 22 chenille needle and 15-20 inch lengths of thread. As you get to the end of each length, giving it a little twist or rubbing it with some beeswax will help keep the thread nice and smooth
