Build Your Own Bargello

This range of kits is based on the centuries old tradition of Bargello stitching. Bargello designs use a combination of long stitches and repeat patterns to create geometric designs. You will choose your kit from scratch, choosing from four different colour palettes, five different patterns, two different shapes, and no end of finishing options. Follow the steps below to build your own kit, or at the bottom you can choose one from our bestsellers.


Step one | Choose your design

We have 20 different designs to choose from, each available as either a 40cm x 40cm square cushion or a 30cm x 65cm lumbar cushion.

Step two | Add your finishing materials

We have a range of finishing materials to perfectly compliment, or contrast, your cushions. Whilst we do offer tassel kits, I love to use the excess wool from the kit so the tassels perfectly tie in with the design. Therefore whilst we have listed tassels below, you definitely don't need these.
