Review on 🐚 Dimensions 'Hydrangeas and Sea Shells' Cross Stitch Kit, 14 Count White Aida, 11x12 Inches by Carrie Spencer

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice complex poor quality yarn

I like this design but it is definitely for intermediate and intermediate embroiderers. Multiple color change threads and mixed colors ensure order in the thread. The Aida fabric is very stiff, making it difficult to pierce the needle. The colors of the threads provided are really pretty for the shade present in the design, but not the best quality, especially if you are used to working with DMC cotton or silk threads. The thread is well covered with two threads, which surprised me by the number of stitches on the fabric. I would suggest making a copy of the diagram and coloring in the filled areas with a highlighter - this makes it easier to keep track of where you are working on a complex diagram. The chart itself is easy to read, understandable with various symbols.

Pros
  • Stamp sets
Cons
  • Some mistakes
