Bobby the Donkey
£7.50 – £15.00
Bobby is a lovely donkey tapestry kit for beginners. Stitch Bobby on his own or as a pair with his friend, Clover, or one of our Guernsey Donkeys if you are a Channel Islander.
Bobby is an enjoyable starter kit and would make a great gift either in kit form or made into a cushion or framed as a picture for a donkey-loving friend.
Choose the Complete Kit for colour printed canvas, wool, needle and threader. Click on Canvas Only if you already have lots of wool. Both options come with a Jolly Red bag with colour illustration on the front.

If you would like to stitch Bobby as a grey donkey, let us know in the notes when you order and we'll swap his brown body wool for grey - the same as Clover's and the Guernsey Donkeys.

Choosing a Tapestry Frame
Do I need a frame? A tapestry frame is not essential but using one will help to keep your work in shape. Using a frame also makes it easy to resume stitching the following day or after a break. Young stitchers may find it easier to focus on and enjoy their tapestry if they don’t have to physically hold on to the canvas as they stitch.
We stock a good range of British-made no-sew tapestry clip frames which are easy to assemble. Once the four sides are put together, simply attach your canvas in the grooves at the top and bottom using the sturdy clips provided.
Which size of frame is best for a beginner? One of our 12" wide clip frames - CF129 - is a good size. If you wish to progress to larger designs in the future, choose one of the wider frames with code ending in '9' - CF189 is 18” wide, CF219 is 21” wide and CF249 is 24” wide.
