Cross Stitch Kits

Stitch Your Way to Serenity

Browse our curated range of cross stitch kits for makers at every level. Each kit comes complete with fabric, DMC stranded cotton, needle, and a clear pattern — nothing extra to buy, nothing missing on arrival.

Cross stitch is the original slow-craft hobby. The repetitive, mindful motion of needle through fabric calms a busy head, fills a quiet evening, and produces something genuinely keepable. Whether you're picking up a needle for the first time since school or have been stitching for decades, you'll find a kit here that matches your skill level and aesthetic.

Choosing your first cross stitch kit

• Beginner kits — larger aida count (14ct), fewer colours, smaller designs you can finish in a weekend.
• Intermediate — more colours, mid-size designs, occasional backstitch detail.
• Advanced — finer aida (16ct, 18ct), full coverage designs, multiple stitches per square.

What's in the box

Every cross stitch kit we sell includes the fabric, all required DMC threads, a needle, and the pattern. Most kits include a small hoop or frame. If you'd like to upgrade your hoop, see our cross stitch supplies.

FAQ

How long does a cross stitch kit take? A small kit (15 x 15 cm) takes 6-12 hours; a large full-coverage landscape can take 60+ hours, usually over many evenings.

Do I need a hoop? Most stitchers prefer one — it keeps the fabric taut and your stitches even. We include a hoop with most kits.

What's the difference between cross stitch and Diamond Dotz? Cross stitch uses thread and needle on fabric; Diamond Dotz applies sparkly facets to a printed canvas. Both produce a finished piece you can frame.
