What it is

A whale under a night sky — deep blues, a scatter of small pale stitches for the stars, and a shape that reads from across a room. The design is printed onto the cloth before it reaches you, so there is nothing to trace and the work is all in the filling.

Pre-printed 100% cotton, DMC stranded cotton, a needle and a seven-inch wooden hoop. An illustrated guide to embroidery and a colour chart are in the box, so no separate pattern has to be found and no thread matched by eye. The hoop is the frame: the finished piece hangs straight out of it, with nothing to mount or stretch afterwards.

It arrives gift-boxed and can be handed over as it is. Designed and packed by hand in a Dorset studio.

For someone who has been meaning to start embroidery and has not yet found the evening, or for a stitcher who would rather work a sky than a sampler.

A small parcel tied with twine and a blank card on an oak table.

Our promise

Every piece here is chosen on its own merits by a person who has handled the alternatives and set most of them aside. Some of what we sell we make ourselves; the rest is made by other people and chosen by us, and we say which is which.

If it arrives damaged, faulty or not as described, we replace it or refund it, and we pay the return postage. Our Promise, written down.

Not sure this is the one? The Bloom is composed by hand around pieces like it, and the contents stay a secret until it is opened.
