The Tiger and The Woodman
$113.00
A Woodman saw in the middle of a field a Fox, whose skin was so beautiful that he was inspired with a great desire to take him alive. Having this in view, he found out his hole by a tree and just before the entrance to it he dug a pit, which he covered with twigs and placed a piece of horseflesh in the middle.
When he had done this he went and hid himself behind the tree out of sight. The Fox, smelling the flesh, ran up to see what dainty morsel it was. When he came to the pit he would fain have tasted the meat, but fearing some trick he refrained from doing so, and retreated into his hole.
Presently up came a hungry Tiger, who being tempted by the smell and appearance of the horseflesh, sprang in haste to seize it, and tumbled into the pit.
The Woodman, hearing the noise made by the Tiger in falling, ran up and jumped into the pit without looking into it, never doubting that it was the Fox that had fallen in. But there, to his surprise, he found the Tiger, which quickly tore him in pieces and devoured him.
Look before you leap.

About the range
These finely crafted kits give you everything you need to stitch timeless tales. Their striking, storytelling designs were inspired by Aesop’s fables, with each kit depicting a different tale and a different moral.
The kits use just three core stitches: satin stitch, split stitch and chain stitch, and take around 20 hours to stitch. We have a video guide accompanying each kit which will show you the key stitching stages, so if you are picking up a needle for the first time, we will guide you the whole time.
Framing your embroidery
Our framing shop
We believe framing is absolutely integral to any piece of art. A frame can make or break a finished piece, so as much consideration should be given to the frame as the artwork in it. Our signature decorative frames are all hand-painted in our London studio and designed to perfectly complement our embroidery kits.
We are passionate about getting everyone making and feeling creative, so with that in mind, we also have a curated range of materials to enable you paint your own frames. Alongside our virtual decorative painting course, these materials are a really fun way to experiment and create pieces totally unique to you.
