Merejka London Counted Cross Stitch Kit - K-159

The kit includes DMC embroidery threads, a pre-printed 30 x 40 cm fabric canvas, and the pattern. A needle may also be included, depending on the specific kit variant.

The finished cross-stitch will measure approximately 30 x 40 cm.

The kit provides the essential materials. You will likely need a cross-stitching needle if one is not included, and potentially embroidery scissors for trimming threads. Framing materials are not included.

While the kit provides all materials, it is a counted cross-stitch pattern which is generally easier for those with some prior cross-stitching experience. Beginners may find it more challenging than simpler kits.

Gently hand wash in cool water with mild detergent if needed. Avoid harsh scrubbing. Lay flat to dry and iron on the reverse side at a low setting.

The kit is designed with specific DMC threads for optimal color matching and coverage. While you can experiment, using the provided threads is recommended for achieving the intended result.

Once completed and cared for, the cross-stitch can be professionally framed or framed using a standard frame sized for 30 x 40 cm artwork. Consider using acid-free materials to preserve the work.

While kits typically provide ample thread, if you find yourself short, try to match the color as closely as possible from a separate DMC thread collection. Keep stitch tension consistent to ensure the new thread blends in.

Ensure good lighting when you are working. If symbols are still unclear, try printing a larger version of the pattern if available or use a magnifying glass.

Maintain consistent tension when making your stitches. Avoid pulling the thread too tightly or leaving it too loose. Ensure you are using the correct number of strands as indicated by the pattern.
