Nirvana Snakes & Ladders Embroidery Kit
This embroidery kit is inspired by Moksha Patam - better known today as Snakes and Ladders - an ancient South Asian game designed to teach moral wisdom. In its earliest form, ladders symbolized virtues that helped the soul ascend toward enlightenment, while snakes represented vices that led to setbacks. Reaching the 100th square marked spiritual liberation - nirvana- which lends this kit its name.
The design is pre-printed in color on a square of linen to help guide your stitching. Using 3 strands of thread throughout, you’ll bring the symbolic layout to life, featuring snakes, ladders, animals, and decorative folk elements.
Once completed, your piece can be sewn into a cushion, framed as a tapestry, or kept as a piece of textile art. The accompanying guide walks you through each step with clarity.
Kit Contents:
- 36 × 36 cm 100% linen panel, pre-drawn Nirvana pattern
- 6 cotton embroidery skeins (6-strand): 4 Black, 1 Orange, 1 Fuchsia
- Embroidery needles (for both 3-strand and 6-strand work)
- Stitch and color guide with diagrams and step-by-step instructions
- Embroidery hoop
All materials are carefully selected to offer a rich stitching experience and a beautiful finished result. Whether you're drawn to cultural symbolism or love playful folk designs, this kit is both meditative and creatively rewarding.
