Irises Chunky Cross Stitch

This design was inspired by the screens painted by the Japanese artist Ogata Korin between 1701 and 1705. I particularly liked his use of a restricted palette and bold blocks of colour. I haven’t been able to replicate the background of gold leaf but I think the yellow yarn helps define the irises.

Stitched in chunky cross stitch using 100% Anchor tapestry wool on 7count printed canvas, this design is a breeze to stitch and perfect if you simply want to relax and enjoy the process of simply sewing.

The finished design measures approximately 18” x 18” (45cm x 45cm) and may be either framed or made up into a generous cushion.

The full kit is supplied in a gift bag and contains: Zweigart high quality printed canvas (7 holes per inch), lots of Anchor tapestry wool, 2 John James tapestry needles, full colour chart and instructions.

If you would like to use your own yarn then a canvas only option is available and supplied with needles, colour chart and instructions.

Please be aware the kit does not include frames, cushion pads or backing fabrics.
