SOLD Amy Mitten Missing Persons File * Kitted Sampler * £52 €85 $110

This is a super kitted sampler from the doyenne of sampler designers, Canadian Amy Mitten. I have put 17 skeins of of Amy's Fibers to Dye For in the pack together with a generous piece of Lambswool 32 count linen. The only thing missing is your favourite needle.
The chart is incredibly detailed and all the stitches are clearly diagrammed and meticulously presented with instructions also. Not forgetting the accompanying mystery tale to amuse you while you stitch!
