Swedish Embroidery Panel + Pattern
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. For more detailed information about which stitches we used where, find a free supplemental Stitch Guide below! And for beautiful stitch definition and glowing color, use Studio Flax and Purl Soho's lovely Linen Embroidery Thread Sets, or pick up both the all of it together with our Swedish Embroidery Panel + Linen Thread Set. And one more tip, we recommend using a size 22 chenille needle for smooth sailing!
