Orchidea Butterfly Swallowtail Needlepoint Canvas 1822D

Stitch Butterfly, a printed needlepoint canvas by Orchidea — a yellow and black butterfly spreads its wings against a shimmering blue background. A little stitcher's folklore: the swallowtail is Britain's largest native butterfly, found wild only in the Norfolk Broads. Why this canvas: it comes from Orchidea, the Polish needlework maker founded in 1985 and known for its classic tapestry designs. Canvas includes: 100% cotton Zweigart 10-count canvas (40 holes per 10 cm) printed with the design in 8 colours, with the colour key printed on the canvas and a thread list for DMC, Anchor and Ariadna. Stitch used: half stitch. Threads, needle and frame are not included. Work half stitch over the printed colours, matching each area to the colour key, starting with the darkest shades. Canvas size: 15×15 cm (5.9×5.9 in). A bright little piece for a nature lover.
