Description
This peace doves embroidery kit gives you everything you need to stitch a pair of white doves in flight, circled by a branch of turquoise and coral leaves dotted with tiny orange flowers. The design comes pre-printed on a soft duck-egg green cotton background fabric, so you simply follow the lines with your needle. Inside the box you will find the cotton fabric, a round bamboo hoop with a metal screw fastening, an iron needle, polyester threads wound on a card in white, grey, red, coral, orange and turquoise, and an illustrated stitch guide that shows how each part of the design is worked.
Stitching a hoop like this is a calm, absorbing way to spend an evening, and the finished piece stays in its hoop, ready to display. The soft green, white and coral palette sits happily on a bedroom shelf, a sitting room bookcase or a desk in a quiet corner, and the doves and leaves bring a gentle, hopeful note to any room. With the printed outline and the stitch guide showing where each colour goes, the project follows a clear plan from the first stitch to the last, so you can settle in and enjoy the rhythm of the work.
The bamboo hoop is light and warm in tone, and its metal fastening tightens to hold the fabric taut while you work. The cotton is soft and smooth to stitch through, and the polyester threads give bright, even colour across the doves, leaves and flowers. Once your piece is finished, keep it away from damp and dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth. Boxed with a picture of the finished design on the lid, it makes a ready-to-give present, or a treat to keep for yourself and fill a few slow evenings.

The threads come in white, grey, red, coral, orange and turquoise, which together make the white doves, the dark branch, and the coral and turquoise leaves.
What is the embroidery hoop made from?
The hoop is made from bamboo, with a metal screw fastening that you tighten to hold the cotton fabric smooth and taut while you stitch.
Can the finished embroidery stay in the hoop?
