Wyvern Needlepoint Canvas

Dragons, Wyverns, Wyrms, and Drakes are all imaginary mythical creatures, so why can't we just call all of them dragons? Does taxonomy matter for an imaginary creature? 

Since the sixteenth century, in English, Welsh, Scottish, French and Irish heraldry, wyverns are defined as distinct entities from heraldic dragons. The key difference has been that a wyvern has two legs, whereas a dragon has four. The word Dragon has been used interchangeably for both of these four-legged and two-legged beasts in fantasy media. To me, the Wyvern is the more plausible and realistic beast, as no animal on earth has six legs as a four-legged, two-winged heraldic dragon would have.

So call it a dragon or call it a wyvern - no matter what you call it, just have fun stitching it!

These stitch perfect printed designs are all around 4” at their largest dimension on 13 mesh, making them precious quick stitches for ornaments, mobiles, garlands, or framed pieces. The mythical creature needlepoint canvas collection includes a unicorn, wyvern, dragon, griffin, pegasus, and sea snake.
