Not enough thread! best in Cross-Stitch

I got this as a fun little project/hobby for my free time. I was very confused at first because the instructions didn't explain the basic cross stitch skills. I had to look up how to start and end each color. I used to do cross stitches when I was 10 but it was only one color so this project was a bit more difficult. I finally figured it out and had a lot of fun doing it! I started knitting with white thread but ran out of thread before I could finish all the necessary sections. Really very disappointed. I followed the directions in the product bio and split each skein into two 3-strand strands. I'm debating whether to split future colors into three 2 strands or buy a second one to get more colors. I even used the threads as sparingly as possible, trying not to waste anything, unfortunately this was not enough.

Pros
  • HD PRE-PRINTED:Pattern Tiny colored squares with symbols are clearly printed on the fabric. Each symbol corresponds to the color of the cross stitch thread. The symbols are written on the chart, and below it is the corresponding color of the thread. The table is usually printed on the side of the fabric.
Cons
  • A few little things
