Tulip Wreath 8081 (1963)

Our wonderful Tulip Wreath 8081 (Tulpankrans) from Nordiska, here in the original 1960s colours. We have printed a series of eight Woodland Brown and pack each kit with both vintage and contemporary linen threads in two weights. Included in this kit: 100% linen panel, 50 x 50 cm 10 colours of linen thread and a chenille needle: the original Tulip Wreath had 9 colours: we add a little acid yellow/green for yellow colour nr 3 so that you can blend in the bright shade that was used in the original kit. An archive poster in A4 with a stitch card on the reverse A card with a brief history of the pattern origins. The pattern measures circa 27.5 x 26 cm Lots of fun stitches are noted for this pattern: Satin stitch, stem stitch, split stitch, lazy daisy, y stitch, couching stitch, twisted chain stitch, long and short stitch, cross stitch and French knots. The poster is a facsimile of the 1960’s instructional sheet, with a detailed drawing showing the colours and stitches used in the 60’s.
