Description

When winter's work is done the Cowslip paints the spring with golden yellow. Across meadows and hedgerows they're known as the 'Keys to Heaven'. It was believed that St. Peter dropped the keys to earth from heaven and where they lay Cowslip would grow.

A valuable early source of nectar for bees and insects they were traditionally used on May Day for celebrations such as weddings.

This lovely kit features a 16" x 16" design on a 20" x 20" canvas. It comes with a chart card, printed canvas measuring 10 holes per inch, needles, needle threader and soft and luxurious Elizabeth Bradley Tapestry Wool.

Featured Finished Cushions shown on Black and Winter White Backgrounds.

Please enjoy our digital background colour preview, but note that an accurate representation of the wool colours depicted on screen can vary widely depending on monitor calibration. Use this tool for guidance only.
