Home Grown Quilts

DMC Tapestry or Colbert Wool is ideal for wall hangings, chair covers, cushions or fashion items such as bags.

Tapestry/Colbert Wool
100% pure virgin wool. Endorsed by the Woolmark. The wool is combed and twilled which gives it an even finish. 4 inseparable twisted strands.

Wash & Care:
Canvases are difficult to clean, remove dust regularly from the tapestry with a vacuum cleaner.
– Dry clean only.
– Ironing on low heat possible.
– Do not wash.
– Do not use chlorine.
– Do not tumble dry

Needles:
Monothread canvas: use a Blunt needle n° 20
Penelope canvas: use a Blunt needle n° 16-18

Useful Hints:
For cushion covers which undergo more wear and tear, it is better to use petit-point. This stitch creates a firm weave at the back of the canvas which in turn helps to strengthen the end product.
Ideally stretch your canvas on a frame while working to keep its shape and ensure even stitching
