Stellar Sunflower Embroidery Kit with Manos del Uruguay Wool
This gorgeous kit contains hand dyed pure wool by Manos del Uruguay, which are super soft as they contain 70% Merino and 30% Silk! The crochet weight knitting wool is an absolute joy to stitch with as it’s squidgy enough to hide imperfections, but it still has a form to it that creates very neat stitches with minimum effort. This kit is suitable for all levels of stitchers including beginners as full instructions, a stitch guide, and video tutorials are all included.
The kit includes full printed instructions to make the generous sized hemmed panel into a bolster cushion, but it could also be a wall hanging, or displayed in a frame.
The inspiration for this kit comes from my love of the the Arts & Crafts Movement, this wool embroidery kit is available in three colour options for the simple reason that once I had completed one I just couldn’t stop!
The name comes from the colour of the Manos del Uruguay variegated wool that they have called ‘Stellar’. It reminds me of Van Gogh’s Starry Night painting, as it has tones of blue, green, yellow, and brown all in one strand, and it is very easy to stitch with, creating a very sophisticated look with minimum effort.
The Stellar Sunflower design is deceptively easy to embroider, with simple stitches being used to great effect. The finished piece could be any number of things including a wall hanging or a cushion, and I have designed the colour palette so that it is easy to style, and will brighten any interior decoration scheme.
Included in the kit:
- Hemmed panel of pure linen in an ivory colour, measuring 50 x 50 cm, a luxurious high-quality heavyweight linen weighing approximately 225gsm.
- Six mini skeins of Manos del Uruguay hand dyed wool, ready cut into stitchable lengths and stored on a handy Macrame ring.

If you are creating a cushion then all you will need is the stuffing, and a pair of scissors to cut the thread.
