Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Save on Cross Stitch Kits
I began my interest in cross stitch by purchasing a Dimensions Gold Collection counted cross stitch kit back in 2004. I had NO prior experience with cross stitch or any other form of needlework, but I was recuperating from spine surgery and a nurse suggested I try needlework to occupy my mind and focus on something other than my pain. I bought "Stately Palm" that afternoon - a counted cross stitch kit in the Dimensions Gold Collection - and worked on it for several months until I had a completed, beautiful piece of needlework! I had it professionally framed and it proudly hangs in my home today. I still love the Dimensions Gold Collection counted cross stitch products today, and I have acquired a nice collection of kits over the past decade or so. They are always high quality kits containing pre-sorted flosses in a multitude of colors, and the directions are clear enough that someone like myself - a male who had never tried needlework before - was able to create an heirloom that I hope will stay in my family for many years to come. This newest addition to the Gold Collection (Royal Peacock) is no exception to my positive experience with all the other Dimensions Gold kits I have stitched. Directions are clearly written and the chart is easy to follow. The only thing you may wish to purchase in addition to your kit is an embroidery hoop (I prefer using a Q-Snap to hold the fabric taut) and perhaps a packet or two of tapestry/cross stitch needles. The kits do include a needle for you to start stitching almost immediately, but I like to pre-thread several needles to have handy as I work my way through my projects.Read full review
