Wool & Hoop Kits

!
This line of kits is from Wool & Hoop in Texas. It is not the traditional crewel design but 'the new crewel' as designer Katherine Shaughnessy calls it. These are quick and easy projects to complete - even for the novice. You can complete the kit as it is or just use the designs to embellish something you already have. Either way, these are fun, new, and refreshing crewel designs.
 
Each kit contains everything you need to complete the 3" x 3" project:

pre-printed linen fabric
Appleton crewel wool thread
needle
hoop
complete instructions
and even a blank greeting card with envelope
 
Price: $19.95 for one or $14.95 each when you buy 2 or more.

The kits we ordered from The Crewel Work Company were so well received, we have ordered several more.
They are all designed by renowned British needleworker Phillipa Turnbull.
As an added bonus, when you buy one of our kits and you are new to crewel embroidery, we have an instructional DVD you may borrow as it is available. There is only one so it will be in and out frequently.
 
We have one of each kit shown.
