Cleopatra's Needle is about my favourite tapestry kit supplier.
I love Appletons tapestry wool, it's lovely to work with.
I do hope they will introduce some new smaller size kits soon! My all time favourite of the Hearts is the Mistletoe - I just think that works so well, the background colour is gorgeous.
I would love to see them bring back some of the older Sampler kits like the Viola Pansies and Marigolds. I would definitely recommend this company.

Good, helpful service
Robert was really helpful in getting the photo correct for my bespoke kit. He kept in touch throughout the whole process and my kit arrived safely and quickly. I've not stitched it yet (although I have made a start), but it looks like it's going to be just right.
