The board is cut from poplar plywood in the outline of a seated tiger with a curling striped tail, printed in warm orange with deep plum and pink stripes, a cream chest, turquoise eyes and a pink nose. Small holes are punched through the board along printed stitch marks: little crosses down the chest, triangles across the stripes and short dashes at the feet, so every stitch has a guide to follow. It measures 16.9cm long and 11.4cm wide, and at just 0.5cm thick it sits neatly in the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLearning to sew comes down to finding the right hole and pulling the yarn through, and this set turns that into the whole game. Thread the needle, follow the printed marks and the tiger's stripes fill in stitch by stitch, building a feel for simple straight stitches and crosses without fabric to pucker or a hoop to manage. It suits a kitchen table, a craft corner or a quiet rainy afternoon, and because the board is small and weighs only 0.026KG it packs easily into a bag for a long journey. The finished tiger makes a proud keepsake of a first piece of stitching.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stitch board is poplar plywood, the yarn is 100% polyester and the needle is plastic, keeping the focus on the stitching. A stitch that goes astray can simply be pulled back through and tried again. To care for it, brush any fluff from the board, wipe it with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from water. We like to set it out on a tray with the yarn and needle ready, and it makes a cheerful little gift for anyone ready to try their first stitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRex London\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStitch board: plywood (poplar); yarn: 100% polyester; needle: plastic (PP)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.9cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11.4cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.026KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarnings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarning!
