May I present Percival, a king peacock. He's a bit flamboyant, a touch noisy, and every inch royalty. With his little crown and chain of office, he's ready to officiate over all avian diplomatic issues. He's also happy to rule over your home if given the chance.

This design uses the three simplest embroidery stitches (the running stitch, the split stitch, and the back stitch), which makes it great for beginners.  

Your "Peacock Royale" embroidery kit includes: 

  • Embroidery needle 
  • Embroidery floss 
  • Cotton fabric printed with the pattern 
  • 8" embroidery hoop 
  • A stitch guide 
  • Simple instructions on how to finish the piece 

This design is really striking with its chartreuse, azure, and dark blue threads. His feathers are a delight to stitch and let you switch between colors frequently so you won't get bored.

The finished piece measures 8" in diameter.
