Conkers

Conkers tapestry kit conjures up happy memories of woodland walks and crisp autumn leaves. It's a lovely kit to stitch for a walker and anyone who loves the outdoors.

Once stitched, your Conkers tapestry can be folded in half and made into a specs case. It can also be used as the centre of a larger cushion, or used as a panel in a tapestry bag.

Choosing  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. As the canvas is attached by easy clips, the frames allow you to switch between projects if necessary.

For Conkers, we recommend an 18" wide CF189 tapestry frame or choose a CF219 or CF249 frame if you might stitch something larger in the future. A 12" frame will be a bit of a squeeze.
