100% Cotton Canvas

There are 3 bags of yarn included with this canvas, only 2 bags were tagged with model no matching the canvas.

The 2 marked bags came with intact neatly wound yarn bundles inside. Tags were inside the bags which were stapled shut.

I removed them from the original bags for pictures and put them into newer plastic bags since original bags were splitting a little.

Also included was an already open untagged bag of loose used scrap yarns that weren't marked as matching this canvas.

The opened bag does not seem to be the same type of yarn like the wound bundles that do go with this kit for sure but since I bought them together, I'll be including them just in case there is a slight chance they go to this.

I kept the original bags & tags and put them with their yarns inside the newer bags to identify them as they were originally found and packed.

The face hands and shoes of the blue boy are already pre worked as well as lots of horizontal yarn outlines going across filling in the design as it goes.

This does not come with instructions so you will have to be familiar with this type of canvas already.

I'm pretty sure the pre worked stitching marks are where your supposed to stitch your colors in at, kind of like a paint by number or hand painted canvas marks all its separate sections.

I've seen these Penelope canvases pre worked like this before, so it is just a different style or format of needlepoint is all.

The white tag included with one of the yarn bundles reads:

First with the finest Needlepoint Tapestry
Elegance Luxury
Made in the People's Republic of China
Distributed by Super Star Needlepoint Inc.
New York NY
Art No. 684 T
23" x 25"
Canvas 100% Cotton
Center Design yarn 100% wool

Then handwritten in red ink it also says Matching Wool
Art 684 T
Frame

The measurements on the yarn tag contradicts the actual canvas tag.

I measured it after seeing the discrepancy and it measures as follows:

Canvas measures approximately:
22 1/2" x 31 1/2"

Design measures
approximately:
17 1/2" x 25 1/2"

So, neither really matched on the tags actually but it still is a pretty good-sized popular canvas.

The other baggie has a white hang tag inside that reads:

TP 23 / 3202
Matching Wool
1 - bundle

There's also a yellow piece of tape on the bag that reads:
TP 23 / 3202


This kit is a preowned item that was purchased by me from an estate sale years ago so I only know what I can see as shown or tagged in pictures.

I do not know actual details of what all came with it originally and am merely assuming it is all here in the 2 marked bags and possibly the third unmarked bag.


My guess is that the 3rd unmarked bag does not actually go to this but since I'm not 100% sure I'm sending it along just in case it does.


Please see pictures for further details since items shown are actual items you will receive.
