Celebrate the English Oak Tree with the Elizabethan Acorn Kit. Replicated from a set of bed hangings at Hardwick Hall in Derbyshire, this design showcases a roundel of acorns and oak leaves in a medley of interesting Crewel techniques.
Completed in a naturalistic, Arts & Crafts colour palette, this design is ideal for beginners and the perfect accompaniment to the Autumn season.
