Hens Sweet Hens

Hens Sweet Hens is a gorgeous tapestry to stitch for yourself or to make as a gift for a hen keeping friend. The design features a yard of busy hens and a cockerel, enjoying the sunshine as they emerge from their hen house. The eggs and feathers border makes Hens Sweet Hens the perfect focal point for a country kitchen.

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 only take a few minutes to assemble. The canvas is attached by sturdy clips, giving you the flexibility to switch between projects if you need to.

For Hens Sweet Hens, we recommend either a CF189 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.
