Product Information
Full details
The Riolis Hello Autumn Counted Cross Stitch Kit (R2006) is an ideal choice for both intermediate and experienced crafters looking to create a seasonal, decorative piece for their home. This kit provides high-quality materials, including Zweigart fabric and Anchor threads, to ensure a professional-looking result; however, it is a counted cross stitch kit, meaning it is better suited for those comfortable following a chart rather than working from a printed fabric pattern.

FAQs
Does this kit come with an embroidery hoop?
No, the kit does not include an embroidery hoop. You will need to purchase a 10-inch or 12-inch hoop separately.
Is this suitable for a beginner?
While it uses standard 14ct fabric, it is a counted cross stitch kit. If you have never done counted work before, it may present a slight learning curve compared to stamped kits.
Are the threads pre-sorted?
The kit includes a full range of Anchor threads necessary for the design, though they may arrive on a card that you will need to organize according to the color chart provided.
Can I wash the finished project?
Yes, you can gently hand wash it with mild detergent, but do not wring or twist the fabric to avoid distorting the stitches.
What is the fabric count?
The kit uses 14-count Aida, which means there are 14 stitches per inch.
Troubleshooting
The thread is tangling or knotting frequently.
Use shorter lengths of thread (roughly 18 inches) and allow the needle to hang freely every few stitches to untwist the strands.
Losing count of stitches on the chart.
Use a highlighter or a removable sticker to mark off completed rows or sections on the chart as you finish them.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before beginning, wash your hands to prevent natural oils from transferring to the white Aida fabric. It is highly recommended to secure the edges of the Aida fabric with masking tape or a zig-zag stitch to prevent fraying while you work.
Compatibility: The design is compatible with standard 10-inch or 12-inch embroidery hoops.
Care: Once completed, gently hand wash the finished piece in lukewarm water with a mild detergent. Lay the piece flat on a clean towel to dry, and iron it face-down on a low-heat setting while slightly damp to smooth out any creases before framing.
