Beginner Embroidery Stitch Practice Book

A structured, reusable embroidery learning system comprising 7 fabric-based pages (6 stitch practice sheets + 1 cover), each printed with 86 distinct, English-named stitches arranged by category and difficulty. Fabric is 180gsm cotton-linen blend — stable enough for hoop tension, yet soft enough for comfortable hand-stitching. Includes a solid beechwood 12cm hoop, three nickel-plated crewel needles (sizes 7, 8, 9), six 8m skeins of colourfast cotton thread (ecru, navy, burgundy, sage, mustard, charcoal), and concise bilingual (English-only) usage notes focused on technique refinement. Total weight: 290g; closed format: 15.2 x 10.2 x 1.8 cm. Pages are designed for sequential progression: Page 1–2 focus on line-based stitches (backstitch, stem stitch); Page 3–4 cover filling and texture (satin, seed, French knot); Page 5–6 explore decorative motifs and combinations (feather, coral, herringbone). The cover page doubles as a quick-reference glossary with stitch count and category icons. Built for UK users — thread colours selected to suit natural fibre palettes popular in British textile design; hoop size matches standard UK craft shop inventory; instructions avoid US-centric terms (e.g., 'floss' is not used — only 'cotton thread'). No plastic packaging — shipped in recyclable cardboard with soy-based ink printing.
