Medieval blackwork kits

If you wish to order either or both of these medieval blackwork kits (which include all materials and the chart) please call 01529 461056. You may order the charts as downloadable files below.

The Blackwork Knight

blackwork-knight (45K) Somehow the intricate looking patterns in blackwork kits seem to call out to be used for a knight in shining armour.

This jousting knight astride his steed gives the opportunity to stitch the horse's finery as well. A touch of gold on his shield and the lining of the horse's garment adds sparkle. Gold beads decorate the centre of each "flower" on the horse's caparison or ornamental cloth.

Approx. design size: 16.5 x (use our handy calculator if you want to use a different fabric count)

Gwendoline

gwendoline-blackwork-lady (10K) Simple enough for a beginner this medieval lady, Gwendoline, uses just black and gold threads. The pattern used for her dress is the same as the one used in the blackwork pears lesson.

Design size: 18 x 7.25 inches (use our handy calculator if you want to use a different fabric count)
