Virtually all kits are suitable for both beginners and experienced stitchers, though we do assume that you have a basic knowledge of the relevant stitches. If you don’t, please refer to our
cross stitch guidance notes, which will help.
Some of our larger kits are likely to keep you occupied for rather a long time - in some cases, getting on for 100 hours. But that must make them exceptionally good value for money!
We are regularly adding new kits to the ranges.
Abacus Designs kit contents
Fabric - Zweigart aida - 14 hpi (holes per inch, 25mm) or 18 hpi, as indicated
Threads - DMC or Madeira threads, ready sorted on the organiser card (unlike many other suppliers).
Needle - individually wrapped.
Pattern - most are printed on several sheets. We are often complemented, even by very experienced stitchers, on the clarity of our charts.
