where might i find information on an old tapestry? I have the tapestry I need to find the wool that have been?
used over half. I would like a picture and wools used DMC/Coats/semco etc.
The tapestry is Le Heron sixteen (roman numbers siecle) I found it in a second-hand shop and would like to complete it. No wool was enclosed.
I doubt that you would be able to find the same wool as originally used, and even if you did find some, it's likely to have a different hue (different lots of the same hue differ, and depending on how its stored, it might look different).
Best to go to a well-stocked handycrafts store and look for the closest matches. You might also have to take some of the already made parts out, so that you can e.g. have a flower all of the same colour.
Don't know where one would find the picture. I would just design the rest, using the existing bits of the picture. One tip is just to reproduce some bits, using mirror images of what's already there.
