This refers to the type of stitch and how it's applied to create a dense, textured cushion cover. The kit provides the specific canvas and yarn suitable for this technique.

Why might dispatch times be longer?

The item is stored in a third-party warehouse, which can sometimes lead to extended dispatch times compared to items stored directly by the seller.

Troubleshooting

Running out of a specific yarn color

Although kits usually include ample yarn, if you find yourself short, try to match the color as closely as possible from another reputable craft supplier. Use a slightly lighter shade if an exact match isn't available to avoid noticeable discrepancies.

Difficulty threading the needle

Slightly dampen the end of the yarn or twist it firmly between your fingers before attempting to thread it through the needle's eye. If the yarn frays, trim the end cleanly.

Stitches look uneven

Ensure you are pulling each stitch with consistent tension. Try to maintain a uniform stitch length and angle across the canvas. Refer to the example stitch diagrams in the instructions.
