What do you get in a flowers cross stitch kit?
Fabric
The fabrics commonly used in cross stitching are Aida. Other options include evenweave and linen. These come in the exact count but are made of different materials.
These fabrics are ideal for flowers cross stitch projects since they are evenly weaved. There are tiny squares with holes for you to make your X stitches. These fabrics come in different counts, and the higher the count, the smaller the stitches and design will be.
The count is the number of holes in every inch of the fabric. Typical modern cross stitch counts in Aida are 14, 16, and 18. Other options include 6, 8, and 11. Evenweave and linen range from 20 to 36 count. If you want to get started on a creative project, purchase a cross stitch kit from Craft Club. Our options feature easy-to-follow designs, and the fabric included in the kit is Aida cloth, which is one of the best for novice stitchers.
Needles
If you’re familiar with latch rug hooking kits, then you can think of needles as the equivalent of the latch hook. Needles for flowers cross stitch projects come in varying sizes that indicate the needle’s thickness. The standard size is 24, which is perfect for 14-count Aida cloth.
The bigger the count of your fabric, the bigger the size of the needle you need. If you use a 16-count Aida cloth or 32-count evenweave, you will need a size 26 needle. An 18-count Aida cloth will need a size 28 needle.
Hoops and frames
When talking about cross stitch kits Australia, embroidery hoops and frames are some of the most essential items. These tools are used to keep your cloth tight while you cross stitch on it, thus making it easier to stitch your design.
Hoops and frames for flowers cross stitch projects come in a vast range of sizes and shapes as well as materials. You can find wooden or rubber hoops, and you can also utilise plastic tubes instead of a hoop.
Hoops can be round, oval, or rectangle. You can get them as small as 2 inches to as large as 12 inches. You can even purchase frames that sit on a stand, so you don’t have to grip them while you are stitching.
Thread or floss
The threads typically included in a cross stitch kit are composed of six varying strands. For most projects, you only need a couple of these strands as you’ll get tons of stitches out of just one skein of floss.
Pattern
Designs such as a cross stitch flower pattern are typically made up of symbols. Some are in colour while some are in black and white – both having their own benefits. Coloured patterns are easy to follow, but black and white are easier to mark as you stitch. Pro tip: If you use a pencil to mark your stitches, you can erase it when you are finished and use it again.
How to choose the right flower cross stitch kit?
If you are a newbie in the hobby, it is recommended to purchase a cross stitch kit specifically for beginners. Beginner cross stitch kits are designed to help you master the skills you need to tackle more complicated projects. A cross stitch kit for beginners will include:
- Basic cross stitch instructions
- A simple pattern that only uses several colours
- A chart with colours that can be easily read
- Fabric and floss needed to get started on your project
But if you are already skillful with the needle, you can look for a counted cross stitch kit with more detailed designs and images. Since you already know how to stitch, you can choose a more advanced pattern.
After learning the basics, you can save money by buying kits as they have everything you need. Don’t muck about searching for supplies or purchasing expensive, individual skeins of floss. Instead, browse through the extensive collection of kits here at Craft Club and save both time and money.
