Wool Needlepoint Tabby Cat Petit & Gros Point Cushion Pillow

Needlepoint in the United Kingdom is often referred to as “tapestry” or “canvaswork”, that is, stitched by needlepoint on stiff open grid canvas mesh. When worked on fine weave canvas, it is also known as “Petitpoint”. Our needlepoint designs are hand crafted with only a basic and simple “tent stitch”, and rely on colour changes in the wool yarn to construct the pattern.

Our regular decorative needlepoint pillows have 132 stitches per square inch. Our Petit Point pillows have an incredible 576 stitches per square inch for even greater detail. Several of our pillows are a mix stitch of regular grosse point Needlepoint and Petit Point stitch. They are indeed a beautiful expression of hand artistry and timeless beauty.

A tabby has a coat featuring distinctive stripes. It usually bears a mark resembling an M on its forehead. The cushion’s design reflects the gentle and playful nature of the cat. The expert stitching and change of yarn colours reflect the highly skilled needlepoint workmanship. It is amazing how the fine stitches of Petit Point can bring life to the eyes and the nose. How adorable these eyes beseeching attention and friendship! Limited quantity.
