Tapestry for Beginners and Children

The easiest way into needlepoint is a printed kit on heavy canvas with few colours and a small size. This category carries Hello printed tapestry kits with charming motifs such as a sailboat, cherries, a butterfly and a mushroom; each kit holds the printed canvas, thread in the needed colours, a blunt needle and instructions. Thanks to the large squares, children and first-time stitchers see results in a few hours. All kits are in For Beginners and Children; premium canvases in Premium Tapestry.

How Is Tapestry Stitched?

Every printed square is covered by one half cross (tent stitch), worked from bottom left to top right in the same direction. The canvas can be held in hand or a small hoop. Colours are read from the print itself, no key needed. When finished, press from the back and stretch it into a small wooden frame or hoop. Kits suit ages 6 and up with adult supervision.
