Custom Beginner Tatreez Kit With Naturally Dyed Thread

$25.00$70.50

The Beginner Tatreez Kit is the perfect gift for anyone wanting to learn or improve their skills in the art of Palestinian cross-stitch embroidery (including yourself!).

Each kit is customizable and made to order, with the option to choose everything from the type of thread, to color palette, to add-ons like embroidery on your canvas pouch. You can also choose to turn your project into a bookmark! (see description below for details)

Each kit contains a traditional Palestinian motif pattern, a mini instruction booklet with information about Tatreez and its history, ~3-5 meters each of 2 colors of botanically dyed thread***, aida cloth, a needle, and a cloth pouch to store your supplies.

With each item I include in my kits and packaging, I do what I can to purchase ethically by checking BDS lists, supporting small shops and suppliers, acquiring like-new secondhand materials from estate sales and thrift stores, and making some of the items myself. I intentionally do not purchase thread or supplies from DMC.

Description

***Note on botanical dyes: Natural dyes are not the same as synthetic dyes. While I use a mordant as a fixative for most dyes, and other makers that I purchase thread from do the same, botanical dyes, by nature, will likely fade or change over time. I use botanical dyes on all threads and all aida cloth colors, with the exception of black and white.
