Four completed hoop decorations from a single kit — each one a small, finished piece of embroidery featuring Battersea dog imagery, ready to hang on the wall, attach to a gift, or display on a shelf. The Battersea Dogs Embroidery Kit is produced under licence from Battersea Dogs & Cats Home and contains everything needed to complete four individual embroidery designs, each worked in a 9cm hoop that doubles as a display frame once the embroidery is finished.
The format is particularly appealing. Rather than one large project, this kit gives four small, achievable ones — each one a self-contained creative session that can be completed in an evening. Four different dog designs inspired by Battersea's iconic imagery, four hoops, four sets of threads, four finished pieces. Working through the set at whatever pace suits is genuinely enjoyable — and the finished hoops can be displayed as a group, given individually as gifts, or used as decorations for cards, wrapping, or seasonal decoration.
Everything needed to complete all four designs is included. No additional materials required. The designs are beginner-friendly — straightforward enough for anyone new to embroidery to work through with confidence, while offering enough detail and character to be satisfying for more experienced stitchers. Embroidery is having a genuine revival, and the hoop format in particular has become one of the most popular ways to display handmade textile work — small, personal, and completely unlike anything mass-produced.
Battersea has been caring for dogs and cats since 1860. A portion of all sales from the Battersea licensed product range supports the charity's ongoing work.
Contents: 4 x 9cm embroidery hoops, embroidery fabric, sorted embroidery threads, needles, threader, and full instructions for all four designs.
Is this suitable for complete beginners?
Yes — the designs are small and the instructions guide you through the embroidery technique from scratch. The hoop format keeps the fabric taut and easy to work with, and the four individual designs mean you can treat each one as a fresh start rather than a sustained commitment.
Can the hoops be displayed once the embroidery is finished?
Yes — the 9cm hoops serve as display frames. Once the embroidery is complete, trim the excess fabric neatly around the back of the hoop and it is ready to hang on the wall or prop on a shelf.
Does this support Battersea?
Yes — the kit is produced under licence from Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, and a portion of sales from the Battersea licensed range supports the charity's work caring for rescue dogs and cats.
Is it a good gift?
Yes — four hoop decorations, all materials included, Battersea licence, and beginner friendly. It makes a particularly thoughtful gift for dog lovers, craft enthusiasts, or anyone who has expressed an interest in trying embroidery. The Cats version is also available for those who prefer feline company.
