What Is Tapisserie Wool?
Translated from the Old French word, tapisserie - meaning tapestry - a textile discipline which literally describes "covering with heavy fabric". Tapisserie wool is a type of wool that has been specially made for canvas embroidery, needlepoint or tapestry and comes with a hardwearing composition and a tight twist to minimise fraying when working on canvases, which can have rough edges.
The durable qualities of tapisserie wool make it ideal for a wide range of heavy-use and high traffic items including chair seat cushions, rugs and footstools. You'll also be able to let your imagination run wild with an array of eye-catching shades to bring any creative project to life. Ajanta's tapisserie wool is also washable at 40C and can be dry-cleaned.
