Trammed tapestry kits and preworked canvases; Details are partially done in petit point
TT = totally trammed incl. yarn
Trammed canvases look as though they are painted with wool. The pattern is stitched with horizontal stitches which you then stitch over with half cross
stitch in the same colour wool. The horizontal stitches give a guide to the shape and colour of the design. Many more colours give a end result, which is much more detailed and more hard wearing than a printed canvas. Fine details like faces and hands are stitched in petit point. Tramme canvases always come with the wool to stitch the pattern. Please order the background wool separately.
DT = Design trammed incl. yarn for the design, w/o yarn for the background
DTW = Design trammed incl. yarn for the design and with yarn for the background
mf = preworked, the design is embroidered, the background is not done
The design is already stitched so there is just the background left to stitch in a colour of your choice. Fine details like faces and hands are stitched in petit point. Some designs are completely stitched in petit point (PP). Some are a combination of half cross stitch and petit point (GP+PP)
We also carry finished tapestries:
F = finished embroidered canvas, not mounted
