Cornish Tartan Tapestry Kit by Truro Fabrics
Introducing the National Cornish Tartan Tapestry Kit, exclusively designed by Laura-Jane Sparks for Truro Fabrics. This beautifully crafted kit lets you create your very own Cornish Tartan design, using the half-cross stitch method to bring the traditional colours of Cornwall to life.
Whether you’re an experienced stitcher or a confident beginner looking to try something new, this kit has everything you need to create a stunning tapestry that could be finished as a cushion, bag, or framed piece of art for your home. The easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions, complete with photographs, guide you through every part of the process – from setting up your frame to the finishing touches.
What’s Inside the Kit:
Instruction Booklet with step-by-step, photographed guidance
Coloured-Symbol Pattern for clear and easy reference

Tapestry Wool Skeins in Black, Yellow, White, Blue, and Red

This kit uses just one simple stitch across 5 colours to create a gorgeous, traditional Cornish tartan. Though previous needlepoint experience would be helpful, it’s perfect for anyone eager to learn a new craft! Plus, you can always opt for the tent-stitch or basketweave technique (please note, additional yarn may be required for these methods).
Designed and made with love in Cornwall, this kit gives you the chance to make something uniquely Cornish. And, if you’d like to know more about the artist behind the design, be sure to check out Laura-Jane Sparks’s portfolio and follow her on Instagram!
