Aurifil threads are by far the smoothest threads I have ever stitched with. and I'd love to know what you think of them. There are five beautiful stranded floss bobbins included in this kit, one of them is a variegated brown/charcoal. I have selected the threads to give a vintage aesthetic to the design.
Butterfly Meadow is a design that was previously released as a needle case kit, and with the 49cm square pure linen panel that you receive in this kit, there are a variety of items that could be made, all of which are covered in the accompanying guide. You could make a needle case, a cushion front, or a drawstring bag, which is what I will be making.
There is sufficient thread to stitch this design several times over.
This kit is suitable for beginners and advanced stitchers alike. The stitches used are detailed in the stitch guide, and there are videos and free Stitch Lessons at the website for the stitches.
