Pre-work (also called center-work) is when the main design is already stitched and the customer stitches the background in whatever color they want. The pre-work is usually regular gros point needlepoint (10-count stitching) and sometimes includes petit point (20-count stitching) for fine details. This item is entirely 10-count gros point.
Purchase is for the pre-worked canvas only. The yarn to complete the background is not included. We also sell a variety of yarns to complete this project and we can create a second eBay listing for the yarn. We have Paternayan, Brunswick, and Bucilla 3-strand Persian wool (stitch using either 2 or 3 strands, depending on intended use). We have DMC, Elsa Williams, and Nostra Zephyr (Dutch) tapestry wools. We have DMC Pearl Cotton #3, #5, and 6-strand cotton embroidery floss.
Inventory is new from our retail needlecraft store. This item is no longer produced. We purchased the manufacturer's remaining inventory when they left the market.
Item will ship folded in poly shipping bag.
