Guernsey Donkey (RF)

Guernsey Donkey (right facing) is a mini needlepoint tapestry kit to stitch for your home, a friend’s home – or to buy as a gift for a donkey-loving stitching friend. The design features a Guernsey donkey in a tranquil field, with freesias in the foreground and a Martello tower in the background. The design is completed by the finishing touch of a Guernsey flag flying from the clifftop.
Printed canvas area 4″ x 4″, with 3″ of blank canvas all around so you can personalise your design.
Order either the complete tapestry kit (with eight skeins of tapestry wool), or choose the canvas only option if you already have lots of your own wool to use.

Choosing a Tapestry Frame
A tapestry frame is not essential, but using one will help to prevent work going out of shape as well as making it easy to resume stitching the next day or after a break. Children may find it easier to focus on the tapestry if they aren't also having to physically hold on to the canvas as they stitch.
We stock a good range of British made no-sew tapestry clip frames which only take a few minutes to assemble. The canvas is attached by easy clips, allowing you to switch between projects if necessary.
For Guernsey Donkey a 12" CF129 frame is a good size. If you may want to stitch a larger design in the future, choose one of the wider frames with code ending in '9' and place your canvas in the centre of the frame when you stitch it.
See all of our tapestry clip frames in our Frames and Accessories category.
