Vintage Blue Toile German Shepherd Needlepoint Canvas
A German Shepherd in the tradition of antique toile textiles — crisp blue-and-white detail, an elegant profile, and the flowing ears and refined stance of a classic sporting dog. The generous white ground keeps the composition clean and open, drawing on the visual language of traditional hunting prints and blue-and-white porcelain.

Kitting Your Canvas
At Pierrepont, we offer three thread lines, each with its own character
DMC Pearl Cotton
Our standard kit features DMC's beloved long-staple Egyptian cotton, trusted by needleworkers for generations. With over 500 colors — the widest palette available — every subtle variation in your design is matched with precision, so the richness of each canvas truly comes through. DMC is also the most cost-effective option, making it an especially wonderful choice for beginners and anyone building a collection.
Pepper Pot Silk
Our silk kit graces your canvas with Pepper Pot Silk from Planet Earth Fibers, a single strand of pure silk with a shine that surpasses most of its silk counterparts. Each of its 285 colors is dyed by hand, holding a tonal depth no machine-dyed thread can offer, and its lustrous coverage lends your finished piece the soft gleam of satin. Durable and effortless in hand, it is beloved by beginners and expert needleworkers alike.
Radiance Metallic
Our metallic kit features Radiance from The Meredith Collection, a high-sheen thread with a smooth, softly twisted hand. Across its classic and jewel palettes, the shimmer lives in the thread itself — radiance glimmers the way candlelight does and glides through 18-mesh canvas without the coiling that gives metallics their reputation. Radiance is the choice for holiday canvases and celebration pieces, or for any needleworker who wants their finished work to catch the light.
