FAQs
Is this kit suitable for adults too?
Yes, while designed for beginners and young crafters, adults can also enjoy this kit as a relaxing introduction to needlepoint or as a quick project.
What does '11 count Zweigart canvas' mean?
This refers to the density of the canvas. '11 count' means there are 11 holes or stitches per inch, indicating a medium-fine canvas suitable for beginners.
Can I wash the finished needlepoint?
It is recommended to clean the finished piece with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or soaking, as it may damage the threads and canvas.
What is the approximate time to complete the kit?
Completion time varies by individual skill and dedication. For a beginner, it might take a few hours to a full day of work.
Does the kit come with a frame?
Yes, the kit includes a wooden frame to display your finished needlepoint artwork.
What type of stitch is used?
This kit exclusively uses the half stitch, which is a basic and easy-to-learn stitch for needlepoint.
Why is the dispatch time longer for this item?
This product is stored and dispatched from a third-party warehouse, which affects our standard dispatch times. If you require other items quickly, please place a separate order for them.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty threading the needle
Twist the end of the stranded cotton thread to create a finer point, or use a needle threader if one is available.
Running out of a specific thread color
While kits aim to provide sufficient materials, if a color is insufficient, try to match it as closely as possible from your own craft supplies or use slightly shorter stitches for the remainder of that section.
Stitches look uneven
Ensure you are pulling the thread with consistent tension. Refer to the instructions for the correct way to form the half stitch, making sure each stitch lies in the same direction.
Longer than expected delivery time
Please note the product is dispatched from a third-party warehouse. Allow extra time for delivery. If you need other items urgently, place a separate order for them.
