WHAT IS IN A KIT

Premium white Aida fabric (14- or 18-count), pre-sorted threads labelled by number, tapestry needles, an A4 full-color printed chart and easy-to-follow instructions. Free extras (needle threader, bobbins & Kreinik metallic thread) while stocks last.

14-COUNT GRIDDED AIDA

It features pre-marked grid lines every 10 stitches, created using removable monofilament threads. These fine threads act as a temporary guide to help you count accurately and keep your place, reducing mistakes and speeding up your workflow.

Once you’ve finished stitching, just gently pull out the grid threads—no marks left behind!

14-COUNT VS 18-COUNT AIDA

14-count fabric is ideal for beginners and creates a larger finished design. 18-count fabric produces a smaller, more detailed finish.

14-count Aida: 14 stitches per inch; larger holes make it easier for beginners. Finished pieces are bigger.

18-count Aida: 18 stitches per inch; smaller holes give more detail but can be harder to work with. Finished pieces are smaller.

STANDARD VS LARGER

We give you two symbol size options so you can stitch the way you love.

Standard Symbols – A little bigger than the usual charts, these fit more of the pattern on each A4 page. Perfect if you like fewer pages and are comfy with regular-sized symbols.

Larger Symbols – Around 30% bigger, making them super easy on the eyes. They do take up more pages, but many stitchers find them much more relaxing to follow.

Note: Bundled Sets may not include the option of Larger Symbols.
