A traditional symbol of abundance, life, and beauty, pomegranates are seen in many historic Mediterranean textiles and the Peloponnesian Pomegranate folk embroidery hoop kit is inspired by one of these motifs from a 15th century woven silk brocade. The lovely design is worked in shades of garnet, alizarin and greens and makes an elegant addition to any decor. This is a terrific design for beginners as you learn five embroidery stitches and there is a helpful how-to video on my Demos page. My high quality kits include the design printed on 100% Kona cotton (so you can wash the design after if you like), DMC 100% cotton embroidery floss, John James size 7 embroidery needle, how to embroider instruction booklet, stitch diagram, and 6' beechwood embroidery hoop.

Stitches: Backstitch, satin stitch, French knot, Byzantine fishbone (flat stitch)

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.
