Delaunay is a refined nine-colour needlepoint kit inspired by the classical geometry, symmetry, and harmony found in Art Deco surface design. This elegant kit brings a sense of rhythm and balance to your stitching experience, blending timeless design with contemporary flair.

The palette features a warm seasonal blend of pale and deep golden hues, soft plum, rich browns, ancient blue, and gentle cream – crafted to evoke both richness and restraint. These carefully chosen tones work together to create a piece that feels both grounded and luminous.

Crafted in the UK, Delaunay is supplied with a blank canvas and a detailed printed paper chart. The chart is clear and easy to follow, with full-colour symbols and a key, allowing you to work at your own pace. This chart-based method offers a mindful stitching experience – like painting by numbers with wool – where the design builds slowly, shade by shade.

Stitching Style: Victorian Cross Stitch, the recommended method for this kit, uses 25% more yarn than standard stitches, creating a dense, luxurious finish with a soft, rug-like texture.

Thanks to the stitch’s frame-free flexibility, Delaunay is perfect for travel and everyday portability. It’s also ideal for anyone looking to create a durable, richly tactile piece—whether a single cushion or, when combined with additional kits, a show-stopping rug. And while Victorian Cross Stitch is recommended, this kit can also be completed using Basketweave Tent Stitch or your preferred method, on or off a frame.
