Old English Cockerel

£38.50 – £77.00

Old English Cockerel is a stunning needlepoint rooster to add a touch of the country to any home. A joy to stitch with patterned feathers, a subtle floral background and a border of stylised egg shapes.

Old English Cockerel is quite content to watch over his roost alone but would be delighted to have the company of his friend Old English Hen somewhere nearby.

Old English Cockerel is a stunning tapestry to bring a country feel to your home. With the patterning on his feathers and the floral background and stylised eggs border, Old English Cockerel has the perfect balance of plain and busy areas to stitch.

We stock a good range of British made no-sew tapestry clip frames which take only a few minutes to assemble. The canvas is attached by strong clips, giving you the freedom to switch between projects if necessary.
