Miniature carpet kits - large designs


Carpet kits for one twelfth scale dollshouses - these contain everything you need to make your own miniature needlepoint carpet!
All the miniature needlepoint carpet kits listed below include an easy to follow colour block chart, 18 count canvas, tapestry needle, all the necessary colours of Appleton's crewel wool and full instructions, including how to do tent stitch (which is similar to half cross stitch). Thread to make a fringe is included where illustrated (eg. not in the round carpet kits, the staircarpet kits, and so on). The dimensions given are for the design area ONLY, excluding hem and fringe and are approximate (to the nearest quarter inch, or half centimetre). Hemming the long sides will add about an eighth of an inch (3mm) on each side to the total dimensions listed, and adding a fringe will add three eighths (8mm) to each short side.

Chart packs

- buy just the design, so you can adapt it however you choose!
Chart packs are ideal if you already have a stash of threads and canvas/gauze of your own to use up, or if you like a particular design, but wish to work the design in different colours, or on a different count of fabric, to that offered in a kit. The miniature carpet chart packs contain a large black-and-white symbol chart, to make it easier to alter the design's colour scheme and/or size to suit your own requirements - you can colour in the squares as you go, if you prefer to work that way. Please remember that there are NO MATERIALS (such as canvas, wools, etc.) in these packs. However, very comprehensive instructions are given about stitches used (with diagrams), adding a fringe, the Appleton's crewel wool shade numbers used as in the full kit, and alternative colour numbers for Anchor, DMC, Madeira and Paterna.
We also supply canvas pieces.

Elizabeth miniature needlepoint carpet kit

Elizabeth miniature needlepoint carpet kit
9 x 9 inches (22.5 x 22.5 cm) Suitable for those with a little stitching experience

Style: William Morris (late Victorian)

This is one of our most popular large carpets, based on a William Morris Hammersmith carpet of the 1880's. Despite being large, it is not difficult, as there are relatively few colours, so it is not a 'fiddly' design to stitch. The burnt orange and Prussian blue background shades are typical Morris.
