This Aine Rainy London Counted Cross Stitch Kit (A1014) is designed for hobbyists seeking a detailed and rewarding needlecraft project. Its key benefit is providing all essential high-quality materials for creating a beautiful, large-scale tapestry featuring a London scene. A potential caveat for users is the extended dispatch time due to third-party warehousing, necessitating separate orders for urgent items.

The finished size of the Aine Rainy London Counted Cross Stitch Kit is 11¾ inches by 15¾ inches.
The kit includes Zweigart 14 count light blue Aida fabric.
The threads are a blend of wool and acrylic, chosen for their color depth and coverage.
Yes, the kit comes with a needle suitable for cross stitching.
The kit includes threads in 29 different colors.
This item is stored in a third-party warehouse, which adds time to the dispatch process compared to items shipped directly from the main warehouse.
Yes, the finished cross stitch can be framed. It is recommended to have it professionally framed behind glass for preservation.
Use shorter lengths of thread (around 18-24 inches) to minimize tangles. Do not pull threads too tightly. If a tangle occurs, gently try to work it out rather than forcing it.
Ensure you have adequate lighting. If colors appear too similar on the chart, compare them directly to the actual thread skeins under good light.
Ensure you are consistently making the same type of stitch (e.g., always starting with a '\' and finishing with a '/'). Maintain even tension on your stitches. Using a hoop can help maintain fabric tension.
This is unlikely with a well-packaged kit, but if it occurs, carefully compare the remaining thread to a color chart or the actual threads to find the closest match or contact the manufacturer for advice.
Setup:
Compatibility:
This kit is a self-contained project. All components are designed to work together. No additional materials are strictly required for completion, although experienced stitchers might prefer using a hoop or frame for better tension control.
Care:
Once completed, the cross-stitch piece can be gently hand-washed in cool water with a mild detergent if necessary. Avoid harsh scrubbing. After washing, lay it flat on a clean towel, away from direct sunlight, and roll it gently to remove excess water. Press the piece from the reverse side on a soft surface (like a towel) using a cool iron setting. Framing is recommended to preserve the finished work.
