Louis Wain Cross Stitch Kits & Patterns ⁽²⁾

Louis Wain (1860–1939) had one subject — cats — and he explored it with an inventiveness, humour, and sheer exuberant creativity that made him one of the most beloved illustrators in British history. His anthropomorphised cats playing cricket, attending tea parties, reading newspapers, and generally conducting themselves with the dignity of English gentlefolk were a cultural phenomenon in late Victorian and Edwardian Britain. His later, more abstract and psychedelic cat compositions — swirling with pattern and colour — have become equally celebrated as extraordinary works of outsider art. In counted cross stitch, Wain's bold, graphic style and vivid colour translate into designs that are enormous fun to stitch and genuinely charming to display.
