New products at Beating Around the Bush

I’ll be debuting two new products at Beating Around the Bush Market Day on Saturday: some gorgeous linen, and a new pendant kit.

The linen is Weddigen 22 linen, a beautiful 50 (yes 50!) count linen, which you can use for very fine counted work, or as a lovely base for surface embroidery. It is a medium weight linen, and not see through like the other Weddigen 50 count linen (Weddigen 121). Given that early-style Hardanger was originally worked on up to 55 count linen, you could certainly use it for Hardanger.

The pendant kit is a hvitsøm pendant – whitework from Norway. It’s a bit like Hardanger without the cutwork. The kit comes with full step-by-step instructions, 35 count linen fabric, silk lining fabric, needle, linen thread, pendant tray and chain.

These products are not yet on the website. I’ll add them after I get back from Adelaide.

I’ll be at Stand 8 at Beating Around the Bush Market Day (go in the main door and I’ll be in front of you, to your left)
Saturday 8th October, 10:30-4pm.
Immanuel College, 32 Morphett Road, Novar Gardens.
