Embroider the Chambord Plaid with our supplies
The Chambord plaid is made with 72 linen squares and requires 36 Laine Saint-Pierre cards. Extremely fun to embroider, the colours of the threads and fabrics are highly varied, and the small squares can be easily carried anywhere, allowing you to work on them at your own pace.
