Description

Futura Red is a warm and dynamic six-colour needlepoint kit inspired by the bold geometry of Art Deco and the forward-thinking energy of the Modern Movement. With its strong lines, rhythmic layout, and rich colour contrasts, it offers a confident and contemporary stitching experience. The recommended Basketweave Tent Stitch provides excellent coverage and a smooth, satisfying rhythm whether worked in hand or on a frame.

Designed and made in England, this kit features a full-colour design printed directly onto premium 12hpi Zweigart canvas using eco-friendly, water-based inks. Its vibrant palette moves from deep sand and rusty oxide red through rich plum, ochre green, nutty brown, and crisp white—creating a warm, striking composition with timeless appeal.

Stitching Style: Basketweave Tent Stitch
We recommend using Basketweave Tent Stitch for this kit—a classic, high-quality stitch known for its strength, smooth finish, and excellent coverage. Best worked on a frame, it moves diagonally across the canvas in a zigzag pattern on the back, helping to keep the fabric square and preventing distortion. The result is a soft but durable surface—ideal for professional-looking, long-lasting results.

Because this stitch covers both the front and back of the canvas, it creates a substantial new textile layer—richly textured and perfect for everyday use. Whether you’re making a cushion or a framed piece, you’ll enjoy a finish that’s both beautiful and resilient. Clear instructions for this stitch (and alternatives such as Half Cross or Continental Tent Stitch) are included to suit all preferences.

Finished size: 38 x 38cm (15 x 15 inches)
