Shangri-La Elephants

Shangri-La Elephants tapestry is a beautiful new tapestry design, featuring a herd of elephants and an egret gathered near a blossoming tree.

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 are easy to assemble. The canvas is attached by sturdy clips, giving you the flexibility to switch between projects if necessary.

Shangri-La Elephants will fit comfortably onto an 18" tapestry frame, CF189. The '9' at the end is the height of the sidebars. Choose a wider frame (a 21" CF219 or a 24" CF249) if you think you will stitch larger (wider) projects in the future.
