The speckled background of the Aida stands in for the air around the seed head, so you only stitch the mouse and the dandelion clock itself and the work grows quickly despite the fine count. The threads come ready sorted by colour on a card organiser, and alongside the full crosses there are fractional stitches, back stitch for the whiskers and French knots, so a little experience helps.
The finished piece is round and suits being mounted in an embroidery hoop like the one shown, which is not included: you will need a 17.8 cm hoop. It can also be framed or made up into a small cushion.
