Description

Canyon is a bold and expressive ten-colour needlepoint kit inspired by the rich visual language of Native American and Mexican textiles. With its layered motifs, rhythmic geometry, and warm tonal contrasts, it offers a richly immersive stitching experience. The recommended Basketweave Tent Stitch provides excellent coverage and a smooth, flowing rhythm—perfect whether worked on a frame or in hand.

Designed and made in England, the kit features a full-colour design printed directly onto premium 12hpi Zweigart canvas using eco-friendly, water-based inks. The palette is vibrant and grounded, blending hot orange and soft peach in the background with striking accents of deep blue, turquoise, butter yellow, candy pink, lilac-grey, and nut brown.


Stitching Style: Basketweave Tent Stitch
We recommend using Basketweave Tent Stitch for this kit—a classic, high-coverage stitch known for its strength and even, polished finish. Worked diagonally across the canvas in a zigzag pattern on the reverse, it helps prevent distortion and keeps your canvas square. This technique produces a dense, refined surface ideal for cushions or framed pieces.

Since Basketweave Tent Stitch fills both sides of the canvas, it builds a beautiful new layer of textile that’s durable, tactile, and long-lasting. Full instructions for this stitch—and alternatives like Half Cross or Continental Tent Stitch—are included, so you can choose the method that works best for you.
