Frequently asked questions

Can I still get involved if I do not live in Dundee?

 Yes. We aim to match groups of people together on a geographical basis. We do have stitchers out with Dundee already.

 

Can I join existing groups of stitchers.

Yes, this should be possible. Please let Lyndsey know where you live and she will suggest a group to join.

 

Do you provide needles, rings and hoops?

There are no needles and there's no hoop in the stitcher pack.

Re hoops - just use your own judgment re this. 

Use whatever hoops you find easiest to work with depending on the section you're working on.

Using a hoop helps to avoid creating

different tensions.

What is the name of the yarn supplier?

Appleton’s – it is the same as was used in The Great Tapestry of Scotland.
