This all-in-one educational kit introduces you to Palestinian traditional cross-stitch embroidery, offering high-quality materials, authentic patterns, and easy step-by-step instructions.
The kit includes:
Aida cloth (3 pieces, 12*12 cm, white, black & beige): Durable woven fabric with a clear grid for precise cross-stitch.
2 Tapestry needle, size 22: Blunt-tip needle that glides smoothly through fabric.
DMC Pearl Cotton thread, size 8 (assorted colors): High-quality, vibrant cotton thread with a natural sheen.
A booklet that includes Tatreez patterns suitable for the fabric sizes, with step by step instructions in both Arabic & English.
Small embroidery scissors: Sharp and precise for clean thread cuts.
Needle threader
Tailor’s thimbles: Finger protection.
The kit comes in a high-quality, reusable bag, designed to store your Tatreez materials, and can also be used as a stylish accessory for carrying daily essentials.
From Bethlehem’s stone streets, this product began a long journey. Carried across checkpoints, borders, and shipping routes, it has travelled all the way to so-called Australia — each stage a reminder of the restrictions Palestinian artisans face in bringing their work to the world. 100% of your purchase goes directly to supporting the artist economically, and helps cover shipping fees.
