Spring Chickens

Price range: £21.50 through £43.00

Spring Chickens tapestry kit for hen lovers, with a flock of happy hens enjoying the sunshine and pecking about in a country garden.

Once stitched, Spring Chickens tapestry looks wonderful as the centre panel of a cushion or made into a fun and useful specs case, or perhaps made into a bag for an Easter egg hunt!

We have included alphabet and numbers lettering on the reference chart so you can stitch initials and/or a date in the blue sky area if you will be stitching Spring Chickens as a gift for a friend or relative.

Design Size Printed canvas area approx: 9.0″ x 7.50″ (23cm x 19cm), 12 holes per inch canvas.

Choosing a Tapestry Frame Spring Chickens will fit comfortably onto an 18″ tapestry frame, code CF189. The ‘9’ at the end is the height of the sidebars. Choose a wider frame (a 21″ CF219 or a 24″ CF249) if you think you will stitch larger (wider) projects in the future.

Choosing a Tapestry Frame

A tapestry frame is not essential but using one will help to prevent your work going out of shape. It also makes it easy to resume stitching the following day or to pick up and resume stitching after a break. We stock a good range of British made no-sew tapestry clip frames which are easy to assemble. The canvas is attached by sturdy clips, giving you the flexibility to switch between projects if necessary.

Spring Chickens will fit comfortably onto an 18" tapestry frame, code CF189. The '9' at the end is the height of the sidebars. Choose a wider frame (a 21" CF219 or a 24" CF249) if you think you will stitch larger (wider) projects in the future.
