Gem Peacock number three was designed in 1955,
It measures 28 x 25 cm, hand printed on Favourite Linen and Teal 100% linen fabric, 50 x 50cm.
The original Peacock 2293 was a small silk cushion kit,
embroidered in shiny Niabella art silk, in ten colours.
In our contemporary linen kit we add 11 shades: five of the colours are brand new shades in our linen range and includes a gorgeous aqua, purples, a green and a blue.
In this kit we add one extra colour for the centre feathers so that you can select your favourite. We chose to use brighter colour as in the paper drawing from the archive, rather than the dark grey used in the 50s.
A chenille needle and our usual stitch card is included in this kit too.
The stitches used are: stem stitch, satin stitch, lazy daisy, back stitch, chain stitch and blanket stitch.
