Finished area is approximately 17 1/2" x 27 3/4" on 10-mesh Penelope canvas 23" x 33 1/2".
This is the last copy of this kit. No more will be manufactured due to significant increases in labor to produce needlepoint tramme kits.
We may still have matching bell pull / wall hanging / table runner with the same design as the dress: https://www.ebay.com/itm/205545883948.
We may also still have a matching pillow kit: https://www.ebay.com/itm/205158876221.
This kit includes the trammed canvas (100% cotton canvas with hand-stitched trammed portions in 100% wool) and matching 100% wool needlepoint tapestry yarn to stitch over the trammed canvas using half-cross stitch. This kit was produced in very limit quantities and does not have custom printed instructions, pictures, charts, or packaging typically found in mass-produced kits. Imported from Europe in summer 2025.
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 project is entirely 10-count gros stitch. Kits generally only include sufficient yarn to stitch over the pre-stitch using the half-cross stitch technique to save yarn. Some trammes have the entire design area pre-stitched, and others only have the main features pre-stitched and the needleworker provides their own yarn (and colors of choice) to stitch the background and unstitched areas.
