Each Avlea kit is made by hand in my studio in Central Oregon with specialty folk embroidery fabrics for an authentic folk embroidery stitching experience. The fabric is cut to size and the raw edges are serged to prevent pesky loose threads while you're stitching. I hand-wind DMC cotton embroidery floss and add full-color charts and instructions along with a John James needle. My kits give you the opportunity to experience folk embroidery with the kind of fabrics that have been used for centuries!
