Cross stitch bookmark kits are 5 designs with a stitched area of 65×180 mm. What sets the series apart is the box: it holds two pieces of 14 count Aida, white and black, so you choose the background — and the same design reads very differently on each.
What is included
- Two pieces of 14 count Aida, 210×90 mm: one white, one black.
- Threads, part of them decorative metallic.
- A decorative tassel.
- A printed colour chart plus QR codes for a PDF and a mobile app file.
How long it takes
8–14 hours, so four to six evenings. It makes a good first cross stitch project: the whole cycle to a finished object before you have time to tire of it.
Questions and answers
Why are there two pieces of fabric?
So you can choose the ground: on white the design reads light and airy, on black it is high-contrast and the gold glows brighter.
Is the tassel included?
Yes, a decorative tassel for the finished bookmark comes with the kit.
How do I handle metallic thread?
Cut shorter lengths, 30–40 cm, and let the needle hang free from time to time so the thread can untwist.
Are there bead embroidery bookmarks?
Yes: beaded bookmarks.
