Archeys Frog Kit – SPECIAL
Archey’s Frog is native to New Zealand and is found in a small area near Coromandel in the North Island. Native frogs are quite different to introduced species – they have no external eardrum, no webbing between their toes and the pupil of each eye is circular rather than a slit. The male of this species of frog raises the young. The Maori name for frog is Pepeke.

Benton & Johnson Japan Gold K1, K2, K3 and K4
Japanese thread is a goldwork thread made of a cotton core wrapped with a strip of metal foil. This means that is is quite soft and easy to manipulate while stitching and has a lovely shine.
‘Japanese thread’ is used widely in goldwork all over the world, notably China, India and Britain as well as Japan. Like all our metal threads, it is made by Benton and Johnson in the UK.
Use Japanese thread by couching over it (usually in pairs for a smooth line, but singly if you prefer). Use either a matching or contrasting sewing thread with a coating of beeswax.
In this range the colours are the brightest gold with the glossiest reflective surface. The Japanese threads are synthetic and will not tarnish.
Imitation Japanese Threads in this range are available from No. 8 (K4) which is the smallest to No. 13 (K1) which is the largest.
No. 8 (K4): Approximately 0.5mm across the width of the thread.
No. 9 (K3): Approximately 0.70mm across the width of the thread.
No. 12 (K2): Approximately 0.85mm accross the width of the thread.
No. 13 (K1): Approximately 1.0mm accross the width of the thread.
Priced by the metre. Update the number of metres in the shopping cart, multiple metres of the same thread will be one continuous piece.

Fantasy Tree Blue Embroidery Kit
Designed by Mary Self
I come from South Taranaki where the trees are all windswept in one direction so this is a celebration of the effect of mother nature.
The stitches used are blanket stitch, lazy daisy, split stitch, running stitch and French knots.
In the following set of instructions we have described the threads and stitches that we used in our sample. However, please feel free to use other threads and your favourite stitches. This is freestyle embroidery and by varying the methods you use, your embroidery will become unique.
The outlines of the leaves, branches and trunks are stitched for you to embroider and embellish as you wish. Our sample uses the enclosed scan of the outlines for you to use as patterns for applique, either with felt as in the sample or material.
You could also just stitch them with simple stitching or paint them (we used So Soft fabric paint) and stitch outlines or just unpick the stitching … we would love to see what you will come up with.
