Embroidery Kit - Orchidea Friendly Foal

Yes, this kit is specifically designed for beginners. It uses simple techniques and provides a printed guide on the canvas.

The approximate finished size is 20.5cm wide by 17cm high (8 x 6.5 inches).

No, the kit includes the canvas, yarn, and needle. You will need to purchase a frame separately if you wish to display your finished piece.

The primary stitch used in this kit is the half stitch, which is a fundamental stitch for needlepoint.

The kit includes sufficient acrylic yarn to complete the design as shown. It's recommended to manage your yarn efficiently to ensure you don't run out.

It is best to hand wash gently in cool water with mild detergent if necessary. Lay flat to dry. Avoid machine washing or drying.

The canvas is a 4.5 count, meaning there are 4.5 holes per inch.

Ensure you are cutting the yarn into shorter lengths (approx. 18 inches / 45 cm) before threading the needle. Avoid pulling the yarn too tightly through the canvas.

If the yarn strands are difficult to get through the needle's eye, twist them tightly together or use a needle threader if you have one available.

Try to maintain consistent tension with each stitch. Ensure the needle goes through the canvas at the same angle for each half stitch. Refer to the instructions for correct stitch formation.

Avoid folding the canvas unnecessarily. If creases appear, you can try to gently iron the *back* of the finished embroidery on a very low heat setting, placing a thin cloth between the iron and the fabric.
