Beaks and Bobbins Iris Embroidery Kit

Beaks and Bobbins Iris Embroidery Kit designed by Amy Butcher.

Stitch your own beautiful irises with the latest edition to our collection of hand embroidery kits. The kit gives you the chance to learn and practice an interesting variety of stitches including split stitch, fly stitch, and back stitch, as well as how to use ‘whipping’ to incorporate fine gold thread into your work. If you are new to stitching, don’t worry as the illustrated instructions provide all the guidance you need.

The kit is designed to give you a relaxing stitching experience where you can enjoy some ‘me time’ and recharge your batteries, whilst also creating something beautiful for your home which you can continue to enjoy. With the design pre-printed onto the fabric, there is no need for tracing, making it perfect for both beginners and more experienced embroiderers. Everything you need is included, making it easy for you to start right away!

*Please note that this kit doesn’t include beads and sequins like some of the others in the range- we just didn’t find it needed them!*
