Renaissance Cat tapestry kit was inspired by the famous woven tapestries in the Musée de Cluny in Paris. The patterning on his body and in the border are an homage to those wonderful mediaeval tapestries.
Renaissance Cat will be very much at home in a fine French château but failing that, a more modest abode with heating and fewer draughts would be acceptable.
No wool is included with this Jolly Red printed tapestry canvas. It is a colour printed canvas for you to stitch with your own wool. Take a look at our great value Anchor wool packs if you would like to supplement your wool stash.

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 next day or 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.
Renaissance Cat will fit onto a 21" tapestry frame (CF219 or CF2112) if you trim the canvas slightly at the edges. Note: don't trim too close to the printed design area. Choose a slightly wider 24" frame (perhaps CF219 or CF2112) if you think you will stitch larger (wider) projects in the future.
See all our tapestry clip frames in our Frames and Accessories category, or call us on 01460 281111 or message kelly@jollyred,co.uk if you'd like advice before selecting a tapestry frame.

A tapestry frame is not essential, but does help to prevent your work going out of shape and makes it easy to resume stitching the next day or after a break. We stock a good range of British made no-sew tapestry clip frames which only take a few minutes to assemble.
