The design is made of bold blocks of colour: a bright red shell split down the middle by a deep burgundy line, round black spots, a burgundy head and fine black legs and antennae. In the box are the fabric, bundles of red, deep red and black thread, a needle, the hoop with its metal tightening screw and a printed chart to follow. As a mini kit, it keeps the finished ladybird small, neat and quick to grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce the last stitch is in, the ladybird stays in its hoop, which doubles as a simple round frame. Prop it on a bookshelf, a windowsill or a bedside table, or set it among the plants on a desk for a small splash of red in a study, bedroom or sitting room. The chunky, blocky pattern makes for a calm, absorbing evening project, the sort you can pick up with a cup of tea and put down again without losing your place on the chart. We think it makes a thoughtful little gift for anyone who enjoys making things by hand, and it comes in a neat teal box with the ladybird on the lid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fabric is a polyester and cotton blend woven with an even grid of holes, which makes counting each cross straightforward, and the threads are polyester. The hoop is bamboo with a metal screw at the top that tightens to hold the fabric taut while you work, then keeps it smooth when the ladybird is finished. Once the piece is on display, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth. Set it beside a few house plants or alongside other small frames on a shelf, and that bright red ladybird will cheer up the corner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRex London\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCross-stitch fabric: polyester \u0026amp; cotton; threads: polyester; hoop: bamboo, stainless iron \u0026amp; copper; needle: iron\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.035KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarnings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eContains sharp points and lengths of cord.
