Hone your skills in the art of Tatreez with this vibrant embroidery kit designed for intermediate stitchers. Featuring historic tree patterns taken from dresses from the Ramallah, Gaza area, Jaffa area, Bir al Saba' and Hebron area, this kit lets you explore the origins of native Palestinian dress as you stitch. Tatreez is a traditional form of Palestinian embroidery, characterized by intricate, hand-stitched geometric and floral patterns that reflect cultural identity, heritage, and regional stories.

This embroidery kit is stocked in association with our current exhibition, Thread Memory: Embroidery from Palestine. The exhibition explores the history of Palestinian dress and the ancient practice of tatreez, hand-embroidery which is characterised by remarkable beauty and regional diversity and tells stories of women’s identities, grief and changing lives.
This ancient practice of Palestinian embroidery is recognised as unique for its craft and is on the United Nations list of Intangible Cultural Heritage for Humanity.
