Description
This mini cross-stitch kit lets you stitch a cheerful rainbow on a small piece of white fabric, held taut in its own bamboo hoop. The arch is worked in bands of red, orange, yellow, pink, blue and green. It is a bright, simple design that looks lovely once the last stitch is in. Inside the red box are the cross-stitch fabric, a bundle of coloured threads, a needle and the hoop. The rainbow pattern is printed on the lid so you can see what you are making from the start. The whole kit is 15.5cm square, small enough to sit neatly on a shelf until you are ready to begin.
Because it is a mini project, it fits easily into a quiet evening on the sofa, a rainy afternoon or a calm half hour at the kitchen table. The small design means you watch the rainbow take shape quickly. Once finished, the piece can stay in its bamboo hoop as a little framed picture, ready to go on display straight away. Set it on a bookshelf, a windowsill or a desk, or tuck it among plants and favourite things in a living room, bedroom or home office, where its bright bands add a cheerful splash of colour.
The fabric is a blend of polyester and cotton and the threads are polyester. The hoop is bamboo with a small metal screw that tightens to keep the fabric smooth and even as you work. Loosen the screw to fit the fabric, tighten it again, and you are ready to start stitching. If the finished picture gathers a little dust, a gentle brush with a soft dry cloth will freshen it up. Packed in its bright red box with the design on the lid, the kit is ready to give as it comes, and we think it makes a cheerful little present for anyone who loves a craft project.
