Cross stitch collar kits are neck pieces worked in thread rather than beads. The stitched area is 240×210 mm on 14 or 18 count Aida, using 10–20 colours of floss at a medium level of difficulty.
How it differs from a beaded collar
| Cross stitch | Bead embroidery | |
|---|---|---|
| Base | Aida fabric | artist canvas |
| Texture | soft, textile | dense, shimmering |
| Weight | lighter | noticeably heavier |
| Hoop | needed | optional |
How long it takes
30–50 hours depending on coverage and fabric count. On 18 count the design is crisper but there are more stitches.
Questions and answers
Do I need a hoop?
Yes. Aida is soft, and without even tension the stitches come out different sizes.
Can the finished collar be washed?
Yes, by hand in warm water, dried flat. Unlike beaded jewellery, a textile collar takes it.
Are the findings included?
Yes, the kit covers everything for stitching and finishing the piece.
Is there a beaded version?
