Introducing the Lemur Bargello DIY Kit
Based on my popular Ring-Tailed Lemur fabric design, this kit contains everything* you need to make your very own bargello wall hanging.
Bargello is a simple tapestry method, that only uses straight stitches - so perfect for beginners! And for those who are already skilled in bargello, the addition of the lemur in this design makes it fun for intermediate stitchers too!
Looking for a present for your crafty mate? This would make a fab gift, and can be sent straight to the recipient.

Lemur Bargello Kit
As Lizziebug is a zero-waste eco-conscious business, the environment - and my impact on it - is at the forefront of all decisions. Bargello can be done with either wool or acrylic yarn. Whilst wool is the most environmentally positive option, factors such as cost, allergies and animal welfare make it less accessible. Beyond the production of acrylic yarn, the main concerns are in the washing of it (where micro-plastics are released) and the wear of it (it can bobble quicker). As this project is a wall hanging, and so won't be washed or worn, these aspects of it shouldn't be a concern. With this kit I have tried to keep the yarn wastage minimal, and only included what is needed (plus a little extra as a safety net). And if you're anything like me, you'll save all your ends up in a jar for 'future projects' or just to look pretty! I've also used 'recycled acrylic' yarn where possible. Any questions or concerns, please drop me a message.
