The Fisherman
£115.00
A poor Fisherman, who lived on the fish he caught, had bad luck one day and caught nothing but a very small fry. The Fisherman was about to put it in his basket when the little Fish said:
“Please spare me, Mr. Fisherman! I am so small it is not worth while to carry me home. When I am bigger, I shall make you a much better meal.”
But the Fisherman quickly put the fish into his basket.
“How foolish I should be,” he said, “to throw you back. However small you may be, you are better than nothing at all.”
A little thing in hand is worth more than a great thing in prospect.
This kit is from The Fables range.

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.
