Title:	Needlepoint and Tapestry
Listing URL:	http://www.cross-stitch-centre.co.uk/acatalog/needlepoint_tapestry.html
Description:	A selection of needlepoint kits, canvas and wools, including Penelope tapestries and starter projects for both children and adults. Also traditional hand embroidery pictures, tablecloths and Jacobean crewel work. Needlepoint designs include the French Cluny tapestries featuring "The Lady and the Unicorn", and the work of the famous artist L.S. Lowry, with his matchstick men.
Crafty Tips:	It is always a good idea to read the instructions carefully before you start stitching a needlepoint kit. A common mistake is to use continental stitch instead of half cross stitch, which is often used on British designs. With half cross stitch, the stitches should be diagonal on the front of the canvas and vertical on the back of the canvas. If you switch to continental stitch, where the stitches are diagonal on the front and diagonal on the back, it will take a lot more wool to complete your project.
