Help me choose a Tapestry kit

[onthecoastalpath]

I have become rather taken with tapestry this autumn. I want to complete a rug, which is a significant expense and commitment and hard to order online.

I have done an Erhman kit that I enjoyed. Can anyone tell me how Beth Russel compares? Any other recommendations?

I don’t want to do Elizabeth Bradley and they don’t have single rug kits.

I've never taken the plunge and bought Ehrman/ Beth Russell kits, but you can buy a lot of the charts (including some rug designs) inexpensively in second hand books from the 90s like these: https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/products/beth-russell-s-traditional-needlepoint-book-beth-russell-9780895774460?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAl4a6BhBqEiwAqvrqukWfDRbYpVreseIMVV9ZTU9qkIOz3PFyb5-g7Ue5A5Ufrvsb1X7FghoCCfoQAvD_BwE&sku=GOR002871201

and Elizabeth Bradley: https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/products/decorative-victorian-needlework-book-elizabeth-bradley-9780852238370?sku=GOR001242684&gad_source=4&gclid=CjwKCAiAl4a6BhBqEiwAqvrquhRxetb4PkFFhWlnIvn24GvNSdbaw0XHy9Mp5sCN6P1ZZ_fvZQ7JVhoCfGIQAvD_BwE

I think a lot of the expense comes from printing the design onto the canvas, so if you're happy to kit up yourself and work from a counted chart you can potentially complete a lovely project for a fraction of the cost.
