Description

Asperula tinctoria from the Latin asper, meaning rough, is the name for dyer’s woodruff, a plant often considered as a bit of nuisance, as the flowers cling on to clothes and animal fur.  It is found on mountainsides all over Europe. It has a delicate white flower and red roots, which are used for d­yeing purposes. 
This chart is taken from our spectacular pattern dedicated to Tinctorial Plants in the “Museums and Heritage” collection. 
It is embroidered in cross-stitch over two threads of fabric using two strands of Retors du Nord. Easy and amusing, it is perfect for novices.
The kit contains:

• a piece of cyclamen-colored linen fabric,
• a card of Retors du Nord embroidery floss with the five colors necessary,
• a cardboard disc and a piece of wadding,
• a round tin with a purple imitation crocodile paper,
• a pattern chart with all explanations for mounting.

Presented in a cardboard Sajou box. 
Mounting instructions are included in the kit.
