29th October, 2025
We’re delighted to announce that a beautiful new range of Appletons tapestry kits has arrived at the RSN Shop!
Designed by mother-and-daughter creative duo Nel Whatmore and Polly Rose, the talented pair have collaborated to produce the stunning Garden Project series for Appletons. Nel is an established artist, while Polly is a creative printmaker.
These vibrant, nature-inspired kits combine British craftsmanship with contemporary flair, perfect for both new and experienced stitchers alike. Each kit includes everything you need to get started — from premium Appletons wools and printed canvases to full instructions.

Whether you’re looking for a creative project for yourself or a thoughtful gift for a fellow embroidery enthusiast, these kits are a wonderful way to bring colour and texture into your home.
