The canvas is 100% cotton and includes 100% wool needlepoint yarn. Imported from Germany.

A tramme needlepoint is a pre-stitched design on double-mesh or Penelope canvas instead of a painted design. The pre-stitching is typically horizontal lines. The customer uses matching color yarn included in the kit to stitch a traditional continental stitch over the pre-stitching. Sometimes fine details such as faces, skin, and flowers are pre-finished in petit point or continental stitch. Kits generally only include sufficient yarn to stitch over the pre-stitch, and the customer provides their own yarn and colors to complete the background and unstitched areas.
