Blackwork Kits -

A series of Blackwork kits by Bothy Threads.  The designs are usually stitched on aida fabric using a series of repeated straight lines (back stitch) to create intricate patterns. The main colour is usually black, hence the name, with the addition of bright colours or metallics and sometimes beads for embellishment.  Also includes a selection of Christmas cards which mainly involve long stitch and back stitch.
