Riolis Cat with Telephone Counted Cross Stitch Kit - RIOLIS

The kit includes 16 count antique white Zweigart aida fabric, wool/acrylic threads, a needle, a colour chart, and instructions.

The exact finished dimensions depend on the stitch count and how tightly you stitch, but typically kits like this result in a piece suitable for a small frame (e.g., 5x7 or 6x8 inches).

Yes, counted cross stitch kits are generally beginner-friendly, especially with the included chart and instructions. However, prior experience with basic stitches can be helpful.

Completion time varies greatly depending on individual stitching speed and the time dedicated. A project of this size can take anywhere from 10 to 40 hours.

This product is stored and dispatched from a third-party warehouse, which can add to the overall delivery time compared to items shipped directly from the seller.

While you can substitute threads, the kit is designed to work with the provided wool/acrylic threads for the intended look and texture. Using different threads may alter the final appearance.

Generally, it is not necessary to wash the Aida fabric before starting unless it appears visibly soiled. Washing can sometimes alter the fabric's texture or make it harder to handle.

Review the colour chart and thread count carefully. If a color is truly insufficient due to a manufacturing error, contact RIOLIS customer support. However, for typical use, the provided threads are usually adequate.

Ensure you have adequate lighting. If the chart is still unclear, try printing a larger version if available, or use a magnifying glass.

Ensure you are using the correct number of thread strands as per the instructions and maintaining consistent tension with each stitch. Practice on a scrap piece of fabric if needed.
