Product Information

Full details

This Riolis Spring Glow Crocuses Counted Cross Stitch Kit is designed for crafters who love bringing floral beauty to life through embroidery. Its key benefit is providing a complete, high-quality set for creating a vibrant 8¼" x 11¾" artwork. A potential caveat is that it requires patience and basic cross-stitching knowledge, as it's a counted cross stitch project. The kit includes premium European materials like Zweigart fabric, Anchor threads, a needle, instructions, and a color chart.

Can I wash the finished cross stitch?

Troubleshooting

Difficulty distinguishing thread colors

Use good lighting when sorting and selecting threads. Refer to the color chart carefully and keep threads organized by their corresponding numbers.

Running out of a specific thread color

Ensure consistent stitch tension to avoid excessive thread usage. If you anticipate running low, contact the manufacturer for potential thread replacements or purchase similar Anchor threads.

Stitching errors or missed stitches

Refer to the color chart and count your stitches carefully. Use a thread or fabric marker (if compatible and washable) to mark completed sections or grid lines on the fabric for reference.

Fabric becoming dirty during the stitching process

Work in a clean environment and handle the fabric with clean hands. If minor marks occur, they can usually be washed out after completion, but avoid significant staining.
