Description
Inspired by the bold geometry and rich cultural heritage of Native American and Mexican textiles, Canyon 3 is a striking eight-colour needlepoint kit (or tapestry kit in the UK) designed to bring warmth, rhythm, and timeless design to your stitching experience.
This kit features a beautifully balanced palette of earthy tones—from deep burnt umber and golden yellow ochre to soft sandy beige, olive greens, and creamy white. These natural hues come together to create a design that is both grounding and sophisticated.
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.
