“Thank you so much Kelly and team. I am delighted with my Lockdown work! And they have been so beautifully transformed into cushions. The Roses one has taken pride of place on our bed. The birds one is off to my daughter’s new flat, and the dogs’ cushion is safely perched on the back of their favourite sofa!!”

Animal Ark

£32.08£64.17

It’s Christmas day on our Animal Ark Christmas stocking tapestry and Santa has arrived to visit Noah and Mrs. Noah and the animals. Children will enjoy identifying all the animals, which include a turkey, a lion, an elephant, a llama, a donkey, sheep, and many more!

It's Christmas day and the sun is shining on our Animal Ark Christmas stocking. Santa has delivered all the festive gifts, so now it's time to relax and visit his friends Noah and Mrs. Noah and all the animals on the Ark.

Animal Ark is the eighth design in our larger Christmas stocking shape, and another option if you've already stitched most of the others for your family (humans and/or pets!). It's the same size as Magic of Christmas A-Z, Angels, Cats and Dogs, Christmas Alphabet, Fairytale, Owls, Silent Night, Sleigh Bells, and Toy Box.

Choosing  a Tapestry Frame

While a tapestry frame is not essential, using one will help to prevent your work from 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 take only a few minutes to assemble. The clips  allow you to switch between projects if necessary.

For Animal Ark Christmas stocking, we recommend either a CF219 or a CF2112 for ease of working, not an 18" one. Choose one of the slightly wider 24" frames if you think you will stitch cushion sized projects in the future.

See all our tapestry clip frames in our Frames and Accessories category.
