Needlepoint tramme kit of lilac flowers.

Work area is approximately 12 1/2" by 16" on canvas 19 3/4" by 20 3/4".

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, needle, or packaging typically found in mass-produced kits. Imported from European manufacturer in summer 2025. Hand-stitched in China.

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 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. The labor involved to produce this tramme kit is substantial and no more will be produced after inventory runs out.
