A design for anyone who loves needlework: a hoop with gilded scissors and strings of beads, wreathed in pink peonies and sprigs of lavender. It is worked in counted cross stitch on unprinted Aida, following the full-colour symbolic chart, and the 37 shades come ready sorted on the organiser so you can start straight away.
The soft shading across the petals calls for careful chart reading, so it suits stitchers with a little experience. You will also need a hoop or frame and a sharp pair of scissors; the frame is not included and is best chosen once the piece is finished, washed, pressed face down and laced over board.
