Every Gobelin-L kit has the design colour printed on the canvas, so you can see exactly where each stitch goes - an easy start if tapestry is new to you. The canvas, cotton threads, needle and instructions are all in the box.
A Gobelin-L tapestry kit contains a colour printed canvas - 10 count duo or 12 count depending on the design - together with cotton threads, a tapestry needle and instructions. Because the design is printed in full colour you stitch straight over it rather than counting from a chart, which suits beginners as well as experienced stitchers. Gobelin is the old European name for pictorial tapestry work, taken from the Gobelins workshop in Paris, and it is the style these kits are made in.
The range runs from tulips, roses and sunflowers through scenery to a playful children's line with unicorns, llamas and penguins. If you would rather pick your own threads, Gobelin-L also makes printed tapestry canvases sold without threads. A tapestry frame keeps the canvas square while you work, and the full range from every brand is under tapestry kits.
