The Crewel Work Company Elizabethan Iris Kit

For those with some embroidery experience, the Elizabethan Iris kit offers a satisfying and rewarding experience. The design was inspired by a ‘spot motif’ on the 16th Century four-poster bed hanging embroideries at Hardwick Hall, home of Bess of Hardwick and the gorgeous irises in our garden.

Design size 38 x 28 cm (15 x 11 inch)
Linen size:58 x 48 cm (23 x 19 inch)
