Beautiful item but NOT for beginners
I am an experienced embroidered and have done many many needlepoint kits in my life. This was the first time I used stranded embroidery cotton for a needlepoint. It is difficult to work with because it is slippery compared to wool. For this reason I think a beginner would find it frustrating. Quality was good. Almost ran out of one or two colours but overall very happy. The finished product looks great. I made this because the sunflower is the national flower of Ukraine and I wanted to stand in solidarity with all Ukrainians.

Gorgeous, rich colours. Nice quality.
I just have a few stitches left to do to finish this picture. The colours of the thread supplied are bright and vibrant and nice to use. Good quality, and I am very happy with the result. Being fairly small one sees a fairly quick result. Very transportable to our WI craft group meetings!

Not for beginners!
Previously did the Hummingbird Drama and love the finer gauge of these tapestries as you get so much detail. This one is very tricky as other reviewers have said the colours are barely visible on the canvas and you need good eyesight and natural light to do this. If you fancy a challenge it does come out nicely. All of these tapestries show outlining in white thread which I don’t find necessary, so I leave it out. The iridescent thread is a lovely touch but yes, it’s hard to work with. I would have given this more stars but..... There wasn’t enough thread in two colours and I NEVER run out! I had to make do with a different colour for one bit but as one of the colours was on the wings I had to cobble a length of thread from two other shades. Luckily it doesn’t look too obvious. I will definitely do another of these but if you want to try tapestry for the first time, try an Anchor with 10 stitches to the inch.

SUNFLOWER TAPESTRY KIT
Although small,I have to say that this is the most comprehensive tapestry kit I have ever ordered (I have become addicted to tapestry!)The instructions were brilliant - ensuring that the pattern and colours match up with a sheet of paper that says what colours go where.The kit is from America, and perhaps other manufacturers could look at the instructions they provide as I have often been confused by yellow on the canvas but only white thread available.

Not for kids
There is no instructions how to do it, only colouring

Better with tapestry wool rather than embroidery silks.
I love the pattern. The material is excellent but it really should have tapestry wool rather than embroidery silks. I find it becomes untidy using 6 strand cottons.

Beautiful colours and definite tapestry drawing easy to work on just right as not to big or small to do the needlework

Good stress buster
Just received this and looking forward to getting started. My only concern is that, because the canvas is quite small, the colour screening is often vague and the accompanying chart is cramped.
