A tramme needlepoint is a pre-stitched design on double-mesh Penelope canvas instead of a painted or printed design. The pre-stitching is typically horizontal lines. The needleworker uses the matching color yarn included in the kit to stitch over the pre-stitching. Sometimes fine details such as faces, skin, and flowers are pre-finished in petit point or gros stitch. This kit is entirely 10-count gros point. Tramme kits generally only include sufficient yarn to stitch over the pre-stitch using the half-cross stitch technique to save yarn.
