This Vervaco Counted Cross Stitch Kit is perfect for crafters aged 18 and up looking to create a beautiful 'Bird Between Blossom' design. Its key benefit is providing a complete, easy-to-follow project with pre-sorted threads and clear instructions for a satisfying crafting experience. A minor caveat is that it's designed for those with some familiarity with basic stitches, though it's rated as easy difficulty.

The approximate finished size of the 'Bird Between Blossom' design is 25 x 25cm, which is equivalent to 10 x 10 inches.
This kit incorporates four main stitch types: half cross stitch, full cross stitch, long stitch, and backstitch, allowing for varied texture and detail in the final design.
The kit is rated as 'easy' difficulty and includes instructions. However, it utilizes multiple stitch types. Absolute beginners may find it beneficial to familiarize themselves with basic cross-stitch techniques before starting.
The kit includes pre-sorted stranded cotton threads, with the exact number of colors detailed in the product's specific inventory list, but typically sufficient for the design's palette.
Yes, the finished piece can be gently hand-washed in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid machine washing or harsh scrubbing. Iron on the reverse side at a low temperature.
This kit is suitable for individuals aged 18 years and older.
No, this kit includes the fabric, threads, needle, chart, and instructions. A frame or other finishing materials are not included and would need to be acquired separately if desired.
Carefully check the thread usage guide on the chart. If you are consistently using more of one color than anticipated, you may need to gently unravel some of the excess thread from the sorting card, or if absolutely necessary, contact Vervaco customer support for potential thread pack options.
Ensure you have adequate lighting. If the chart appears too small, consider using a magnifying glass or a lightpad to enhance visibility. Double-check that you are using the correct chart for this specific kit.
Ensure you are using the correct number of strands for each stitch type as specified in the instructions. Maintain consistent tension when pulling the needle through the fabric. Practice a few stitches on a scrap piece of Aida if available before working on the main design.
Carefully unpick the incorrect stitches using a needle or seam ripper. Refer back to the chart and instructions to confirm the correct stitch for that section and re-stitch carefully.
Setup: Unpack all components carefully. Familiarize yourself with the front sheet picture and the charted design. Thread your needle with the appropriate stranded cotton thread as indicated in the instructions. Begin stitching according to the chart, following the recommended stitch types for each area.
Compatibility: This kit is designed to work with the included materials. The Aida fabric is compatible with standard cross-stitch needles and threads.
Care: Once completed, the cross-stitch piece can be gently hand-washed in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid harsh scrubbing. After washing, lay it flat on a clean towel to air dry, away from direct sunlight. Iron on the reverse side using a low heat setting, preferably while slightly damp or with a pressing cloth.
