Review on ๐ŸŒŸ Vibrant Starfish Needlepoint Kit - 14'' x 14'' Dimensions Pattern by Kristen Simpson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

All in all a simple and nice project. However, there are a few downsides.

Usually a pillow that is easy to sew. However, there are some things that make me doubt. For example, why are there areas where we need to combine cotton threads with wool yarn? In the blue part of the sidebar they are identical in color and I didn't notice any difference in appearance, sheen or any of the combination compared to using wool alone. As for the light blue part of the starfish, the difference between the two colors is almost too big. That orange customs seal is a nightmare. I had to do this several times. Not only are small letters poorly highlighted with minimal contrast, but due to the square structure of the canvas, making them legible is very difficult. I'm not happy with how it turned out. The tan background colors are difficult to distinguish from the tones on the canvas. Luckily for the final product there is very little difference in shading so the wings are fine. Based on my experience with the lettering on the seal, I have chosen to ignore the lettering in the background. The white yarn running down the right side of the pillow (in the cobalt blue pattern area) appears to be of poor quality. the same quality as other yarns. Luckily I have a huge stash of yarn left over from other projects and am replacing it with mine. The rest of the yarn and threads are of excellent quality, I ran out of blue yarn before completing the large starfish. How did it happen.
