FAQs
What is the fabric count for this kit?
This kit uses 10 count cotton fabric, meaning there are 10 stitches per inch.
What type of threads are included?
The kit includes woolen/acrylic threads, which provide a distinct texture and appearance.
Can beginners use this kit?
While it is a complete kit, the detailed design and specific thread types might be more suitable for those with some prior cross-stitch experience. Beginners may find it challenging but still achievable with patience.
How long will it take to complete this kit?
Completion time varies greatly depending on individual stitching speed and the amount of time dedicated. Detailed designs like this can take many hours to complete.
What are the dimensions of the finished design?
The finished dimensions are not specified in the product information, but typically depend on the fabric count and stitch count of the design.
Does the kit come with a frame?
No, the kit includes materials for stitching the design only. A frame is not provided and would need to be purchased separately.
Why does this item have a longer despatch time?
This specific product is stored in a third-party warehouse, which impacts the overall despatch time. It is recommended to place separate orders if other items are needed urgently.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty reading the colour chart.
Ensure you have good lighting. Some charts may benefit from being printed at a larger scale if possible, or use a magnifying glass.
Running out of a specific thread colour.
Check your stitching carefully to ensure you are using the correct number of strands as per instructions. If a colour is genuinely depleted, contact the manufacturer for potential replacements or find a close match from a reputable thread brand.
Fabric is too stiff or difficult to work with.
Gently wash and iron the fabric *before* starting to stitch, following care instructions. This may make it more pliable.
Stitching appears uneven.
Ensure consistent tension with your stitches and that you are using the recommended number of strands for each colour. Check that your needle size is appropriate for the fabric count.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Unpack all contents. Identify the fabric, threads, needle, and chart. Begin by finding the center of the fabric and referring to the chart to start stitching, following the colour and symbol guide.
