Historically-inspired, modern-made!
Avlea Folk Embroidery brings ancient beauty to the modern world with beautiful folk embroidery kits of the finest quality. I design and make each kit by hand in my Central Oregon studio, to give you a wonderful stitching experience no matter your skill level.
Why is folk fabric so special?
Folk fabrics have been used for hundreds of years to make folk costumes and household embroideries. When you work a cross stitch design on them, they give your stitching a beautiful texture and are a delight to stitch on, plus they're made to stand up to daily use. I source mine from a 3rd-generation family mill in Athens, Greece so you can have an authentic stitching experience.
What if I'm new to cross stitch?
One of the wonderful things about cross stitch folk embroidery is that you can learn how to do it in a couple of hours and enjoy it for a lifetime! If you're new, watch my How To Cross Stitch video to get started on your folk embroidery journey.
So, you've been stitching a while now?
I can't wait to share traditional folk embroidery with you! The intricate designs, the unique color palettes, the wonderful texture of folk fabrics will provide you with stitching joy. I suggest browsing my Runners & Squares sections as they have the most intricate designs to appeal to an experienced stitcher and every design is available as a kit or a PDF pattern.
Lovely kit - just started working on it, and look forward to the finished results.
Thank you for creating this.
Kit arrived quickly and appears to be excellent quality and exactly as billed! I am anxious to get my project started.
This piece is so pretty. Love the colors!
I ordered this kit along with the Mediterranean Floral kit. They both arrived promptly. I started the Mediterranean Floral kit first, and was dismayed to find a missing color of floss (3012). I looked through the Arcadian Peony kit and found what appears to be some extra of that color with that kit - but not quite enough to finish both kits. I am disappointed that I am in a situation where I am not sure if I can finish the kits that I bought with the floss that was sent.
I am so sorry about this! We'll send you out the extra floss right away, so never hesitate to contact us if you are missing a floss color. Krista
Beautiful fabric, thread colors and instructions. Highly recommend
