Visit Rome

A postcard from Rome to work in counted cross stitch: landmarks, a holiday mood and a female figure in the foreground. The 16-count Aida gives a fine, closely woven ground, so the details stay crisp, while the squared weave is still easy to count, and the thirty DMC colours come already selected and sorted.

The kit includes fabric, threads, needle, chart and instructions: you will also want a hoop or frame, small sharp scissors and good light. It suits stitchers who have already worked a counted design or two. Once finished, the piece can be framed as a travel memento or given to someone who loves Italy.
