Cross stich kits and charts - Bayeux Tapestry

It is impossible not to be moved by the Bayeux Tapestry which is, incidentally, an embroidery. This exceptional piece of work almost 1000 years old has stood the test of time by a combination of miracles. Apart from the fact that it disappeared the reappeared, it is extremely surprising that a textile object has resisted for so long. Here is a series of cross stitch kits and pattern charts which are interpretations of certain passages of this embroidery measuring 70m in length which was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2007. They all use Laine Saint-Pierre darning wool. Discover this wonderful story on the back of the large pattern chart from the main pattern chart in this Bayeux Tapestry series, second part of the Museums and Heritage collection.
