Inspired by the movement and spirit of Ojibwe folk dance, Niimi is a vibrant 11" x 17" oval mat designed to celebrate color, rhythm, and tradition. Beautifully sized to fit our 11" x 17" oval cheese boxes, this striking piece makes a bold and elegant display.
Set against a rich black wool background, a lively arrangement of bright florals and flowing leaves dances across the surface in shades of yellow, red, berry, blue, and pink. Each element is carefully crafted from artisan-dyed wools, creating depth, contrast, and visual movement throughout the design.
Finished with delicate glass seed bead accents and detailed Valdani perle cotton embroidery, Niimi blends texture and color in a way that feels both contemporary and rooted in timeless folk-inspired artistry. A joyful, expressive project that truly comes to life in every stitch.
PROJECT KIT WITH PATTERN: Includes pattern, beautiful artisan dyed woolens, cotton fabric for background, enough beads for one complete project. Threads not included, but available individually.
