Avlea Folk Embroidery | Peloponnesian Pomegranate Embroidery Hoop KIt

The Peloponnesian Pomegranate folk embroidery hoop kit is inspired by a motif from a 15th century woven silk brocade, bringing one of the Mediterranean's most beloved symbols into a beautiful hand embroidery design. The pomegranate has represented abundance, life, and beauty across Mediterranean cultures for millennia, and this particular version carries all of that history in a rich palette of garnet and alizarin with golden olive and green. The Kona cotton comes pre-stamped with the design so you can pick up your needle and start stitching straight away. A wonderful introduction to hand embroidery, with five beautiful stitches to learn along the way.
