Vintage hand-made pre-worked center work needlepoint canvas of flowers.
This canvas size is approximately 26 1/2" square and the pre-work area is approximately 12 1/2" square, suitable for a pillow, cushion, chair seat, or framed picture. The canvas is 100% cotton 10-count Penelope and the pre-work is 100% wool.
Pre-work (also called center-work) is when the main design is already stitched and the customer stitches the background in whatever color they want. This pre-work is entirely regular gros point needlepoint (10-count stitching).
Purchase is for the pre-worked canvas only. The yarn to complete the background is not included. We also sell a variety of yarns to complete this project and we can create a second eBay listing for the yarn. We have Paternayan, Brunswick, and Bucilla 3-strand Persian wool (stitch using either 2 or 3 strands, depending on intended use). We have DMC, Elsa Williams, and Nostra Zephyr (Dutch) tapestry wools. We have DMC Pearl Cotton #3, #5, and 6-strand cotton embroidery floss.
Inventory is new from our retail needlecraft store/warehouse.
We have multiple copies of this item at time of listing. One has small stains in the top left corner of the canvas but not in the pre-worked area. The background stitching will cover this area.
Item will ship folded in poly shipping bag.
