Diamant: Shaded Printed Needlepoint

Diamant prints classic paintings and landscapes with subtle shading on closely woven canvas. Hobianna stocks 45×60 cm models such as D564; canvases are sold without yarn and the colour list is on each product page. See them with SEG de Paris and Gobelin in Tapestry.

How to Stitch a Diamant Canvas

Follow the printed colours in half cross stitch; DMC Tapestry Wool gives a matte, full finish, six strands of DMC Mouliné a glossy one. Allow 40–60 colours and 150–250 skeins for 45×60 cm; stretch the canvas on a tube hoop and use a size 18–20 tapestry needle.
