Kaffe Fassett has also transformed the previously rather genteel pastime of needlepoint into something exciting and exuberant by working on a much larger scale, using canvas with more holes per inch, wools which are doubled, more and brighter colours. His designs are the modern versions of the 'bright gigantic roses' done in Berlin woolwork on the Victorian chaise-longue. This is his Rose Couch which is a one-off, but Kaffe Fassett kits are available from Ehrman Tapestry
