Description: The bag is unopened so I cannot show everything inside. I shook the bag a bit so you can see the fabric which is a sturdy, printed cotton twill. I rearranged the shaking so some yarn showed. The yarn is wool. The photo of the yarn was taken from the manufacturers page as my package is unopened. I know there is a booklet included which explains the stitches and the color choices. This is a vintage item from 1980 when Erica was working with Minerva. The last photo is the pattern completed by Erica and is now at the Winterthur Museum. The Winterthur states:“Country Life,” one of Wilson’s perennially popular designs, was introduced as part of her line of Custom Kits in 1971. Over time, the motifs showed minor variations. Wilson got her inspiration from an embroidered picture in London’s Victoria and Albert Museum. The original kit used 50 colors and 30 different stitches. Winterthur Museum, Gift of The Family of Erica Wilson, 2015.0047.016.001A. I believe this pattern is similar to Erica's in the Winterthur. The kit itself is from 1980 so that makes it 44 years old which has had some impact on the color of the kit photo. The yarn I managed to see looked so. The ohoto of the yarn was taken from the manufacturers page as Sold from smoke and pet free home.
