Rudyerd’s Lighthouse Blackwork Embroidery Kit or Pattern

Rudyerd’s Lighthouse blackwork kit is part of The Eddystone Lighthouse Series I have designed based on the lighthouses built 11 miles off Plymouth Sound in the UK on the Eddystone Reef.

Over the years the lighthouse designs were improved as new lighthouses were built to replace the damaged ones.

Captain John Lovett commissioned John Rudyerd to build a lighthouse on the Eddysone reef. This lighthouse last 50 years but on the night of 2 December 1755 the top of the lantern caught fire and the lighthouse burnt down.

There are three different lighthouse designs in this collection so far. Winstanley’s 1st Tower, Winstanley’s 2nd Tower and Rudyerd’s Tower I hope to add to it in the future.

This design is ideal for anyone, from a beginner to an expert in any form of counted embroidery.

Apart from a sewing frame/hoop and scissors, this kit is ready to use as soon as you receive it in the post.
