How to choose the right counted cross stitch kit

Selecting the right kit depends on your experience or that of the intended recipient, when deciding, consider these factors:

  • Skill level: Look for kits described as beginner, intermediate, or
    advanced. (Beginners kits typically include larger count fabric, larger needles, thicker thread or yarn and clearer charts).
  • Fabric count: Higher fabric counts (like 16 count or 18 count aida) mean more detail but smaller stitches. If you’re just starting, a 14 count is a user friendly middle ground.
  • Design size and complexity: Larger designs with more colour changes require more time. If you have limited time or want a quick stitch, choose smaller, simpler motifs.
  • Palette and subject matter: Choose a design you’ll enjoy looking at daily. Floral, landscapes, or cute motifs all have their own unique charm.
  • Brand and quality: Reputable brands tend to offer better colourfast thread, clearer charts and quality fabric.
