When the weather is cold outside and we’re stuck inside, what a great time to get some needlepoint done!<\/p>\n

This week we’ve got a lot of custom portriats, which are needlepoint canvases from photos<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you don’t follow our blog or know about NeedlePaint.com<\/a> and our specialized process for making a needlepoint canvas from a photo, below is why we think our canvases are superior. (For those of you who have ordered from us in the past, you can skip to the pictures below!)<\/p>\n

The key to what we do is in the colors. \u00a0Our website takes your picture and matches the colors to acutal yarn colors. \u00a0When it does this, it account for each and every stitch, so you’ll not only get a canvas with the design on it, but you’ll also get a color chart that tells you all the colors in your kit and where to use it.<\/p>\n

We recently purchased a canvas from another company that sells art needlepoint kits and were suprised that their canvas had none of this. \u00a0There was just a canvas without any color information. \u00a0The quality of the artwork was great, so no companints as long as the stitcher feels comfortable making those types of stitching decisions.<\/p>\n

At NeedlePaint.com<\/a>\u00a0we’ve found that most of our customers prefer to have the colors matched for them and to have a canvas that is broken up by color with each stitch account for. \u00a0We call this a “Stitch Counted Design”. \u00a0If you look below, you’ll see how the colors are broken and grouped togather. \u00a0Also, if you order the fiber from us, we hand match the colors to the orginal photo, which is a time consuming process, but makes for amazing, realistic, and fun needlepoint!<\/p>\n
