Intro to Needlepoint – Beginner
Needlepoint is a form of counted thread embroidery in which yarn is stitched through a stiff open weave canvas. Although needlepoint may be worked in a variety of stitches, many needlepoint designs use only a simple Tent stitch and rely on colour changes in the yarn to construct the pattern. You’ll not only enjoy counting stitches, but counting your change in this lovely coin purse project. Several designs available. Kit $10
