The Lake House

A house by the lake in a winter setting, with woodland and reflections on the water, to work in counted cross stitch from the chart. The wide palette lets you shade the snow and the trees, while the generous size and the 34 colours make it a substantial project, better suited to stitchers who have already completed a counted design or two.

The kit contains all the stitching materials: fabric, threads, needle, chart and instructions. You will still want a hoop or frame and a small pair of scissors, and a frame for the finished piece: the subject works nicely as a picture to hang, including as Christmas decoration.
