Grafitec Lavender Fields Tapestry Canvas

A very good product that arrived on time and was extremely well detailed. A pleasure to complete. It arrived on time and was very well packed.

I was looking forward to receiving this product and thought would be saving money by not buying the complete kit. However although the photo is wonderful it doesn't translate well to the canvas, some of the detailing is lost as the canvas needs to be bigger, it's impossible to sew all the colours in the spaces. The printing of the picture isn't very clear and I had to keep looking online at the photo to try and judge what colours to use. the legend for the dmc art wool colours doesn't match the dmc embroidery colours, e.g. 792 floss is blue but 7425 wool is a muddy brown! i didn't think i needed to check the legend was correct before purchasing the colours. I had to go to my local craft shop to buy some alternate wools. I am from a cross stitch background so am used to a stitch map but I know from experience some of the higher end tapestry kits do come with this. All in all I am persevering with this kit and am finding it really frustrating. I will think twice before buying another Grafitec product again! I would however buy further canvases and wools from this company again as the prices are good and I received the product in good time although I'm still to receive the catalogue.
