Tuscan Bergamon folk embroidery kit creates a table runner embroidered with a gorgeous garden with lush leaves, overblown flowers, and delicate tendrils is worked in rich shades of garnet, alizarin, green, blue, and gold. The leaves are reminiscent of Venetian brocade motifs while the large flowers are classic examples of the stylized floral motifs found in many folk embroideries. The combination of these motifs from different eras creates a uniquely graceful and intricate table runner. Kit includes: 30ct 100% cotton Mikini in "raw"*, DMC 100% cotton embroidery floss, John James size 24 needle, full color charts and instructions (a PDF copy of the pattern will also be sent to you).
Finished size (exclusive of hem): 11-1/8 x 21”
*a note about the Mikini 32ct "raw": this is unprocessed Mikini before it has gone through the mercerization process so it is 30ct in the weft and 32ct in the warp which means your stitch count will be slightly different in one direction. I have allowed extra fabric for this so you do not need to worry about which direction to begin your design.
Stitch count: 185 x 329sts/16264 cross stitches

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.

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.
