Winter Stag Kantha Kit by Angela Daymond

Description

Kantha is a traditional technique that originated in India and Bangladesh that uses a running stitch and is suitable for everyone from beginner to expert.

This kit uses these very same techniques to form a picture of a stag standing majestically in snowy winter landscape.

It is stitched in brown thread against a pale background with three tree outlines stitched in the foreground. The full-size pattern needs to be transferred onto white cotton fabric and then two layers of white cotton muslin is provided to place under the marked white fabric. These layers will then be tacked together. There are full stitch instructions which can be followed when starting to use a running stitch. Threads within the kit are cut into 50cm lengths, a John James embroidery needle is also included within the kit. There are also suggestions as to what the finished kit could be turned into once completed. The design has a finished stitch size of 29cm x 21cm.
