Review on 🐝 Thea Gouverneur Counted Cross Stitch Kit 3017.05 Honey Bee Embroidery DIY Pre-Sorted DMC Threads Aida Black 6.7x7.1inch by Amanda Castillo

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Difficult and tedious, but worth the effort.

This set is disappointing BUT WORTH IT! The yarn has no color labels and is only sent on a symbol card. Be careful not to confuse them or you will never understand. The company does not provide assistance in determining thread color. The pattern is detailed making it a really beautiful finished piece but difficult to work with. Colors are very bad and scattered. I couldn't have done this if I hadn't made a copy of the schematic and noted the colors as I worked. But it's really nice and I'm glad I stuck with it. Note. I created my own boundary instead of the one in the diagram. for an anatomically correct honey bee, they MUST be hexagons instead. I also used a different font for the lettering. The bee is exactly the same as in the diagram. Fabulous.
