Re: Needlepoint
It's second hand off ebay so I'm not sure - it looks like there's a name on it - Gobelin. Maybe thats the make?

Re: Needlepoint
Hi All, sorry I haven't been around for a while. I have missed so much and everone has achieved soo much. I'm looking forward to looking through all the SALs. Although I've not been around I have been getting a bit done to my needlepoint every now and then. Here's my progress...
I'm nearly finished but unfortunately I've run out of some of the wool. Does anyone know where I can get Appleton Crewel wool from in the UK??

Re: Needlepoint
It looks great! I love the effect of crewel wool. If you'd like to support a local needlework shop, you could call Stitches' Coven (07810 671105) which I visited on the Isle of Wight last July -- slightly more expensive but no postage and extremely helpful!

Re: Needlepoint
Thank you all for your encouragement! I've ordered the wools from Willow Fabrics thanks SusanF. Thanks Mabel and Serinde for your suggestions too, but I just went with the first one I saw! I have to wait now for them to be delivered as it could take up to 21 days from date of order - I'm very impatient as I'm so close to finishing it now and I just want it done! Then I can get back to one of my many x-stitch WIPs.
I will update soon when I get going on this again.

Needle point was a love of mine in a former life. I had sort of forgotten about it. Thanks for reminding me!
