The design itself is 183 H x 98cm W (72 x 38 ½ in).
The linen is 233 H x 160cm W (91 ½ x 62 ½ in).
You will need a 63 inch (or larger) slate frame.
The linen you will receive will have an ample 31 cm (12 in.) border all around the design. We have chosen this width (which is the maximum our speciality linen is woven to) for two reasons: (a) the additional selvedge affords a superior area to apply the twill tape and (b) so stitchers have as much flexibility as possible when finishing their design.
You may choose to cut some of the additional width off your linen if, for example, you already own a smaller slate frame. However, if you intend to leave the full width of the linen in tact, you will need a 63 inch frame or larger.
If you have stitched The Muncaster Bed Hanging or The Glasgow Bedspread, your 72 inch frame will be suitable. If you have stitched the Georgian Bouquet and you own a 62 inch slate frame, you will just need to trim the selvedge of the Gawthorpe Bed Hanging slightly to fit your frame.
Your kit will be delivered in two shipments. The first shipment, which will contain supplies for the first half of your design, will be sent in September 2025, in time for your first support session on 25 September. Your second package, which will contain supplies for the second half of your design, will be sent by June 2025.
Packages will be sent by express delivery and shipping is included in the price of your kit.
Unfortunately we cannot offer a refund on this kit once it has been shipped.
This kit, as with all of our kits, comes with our materials guarantee. This means that should you run out of a wool (or should a furry friend eat it) we will supply you with a replacement.
Where possible we donate 10% of the proceeds of the sale of a kit to the castle, country house, or institution that the original embroidery belongs to and to support the up keep of the original embroidery.
