Persian

A long-haired white cat with blue eyes, printed in colour on a tall, narrow canvas that makes a slim framed picture or a decorative panel. There is no counting involved: you simply follow the printed design. Penelope canvas is woven with double threads, so the pairs can be separated to work petit point in the finer areas, such as the muzzle and whiskers.

Threads are not included: choose them separately, in tapestry wool or cotton, matching the printed shades. You will also need a blunt-tipped tapestry needle and, if you like to keep the canvas taut, a frame.
