A ready-made, hemmed tea towel with the design printed straight onto the fabric: you work cross stitch over the printed colours, with no counting, and the printing washes out at the first wash, leaving only the embroidery. The row of hens on a fence makes a cheerful piece for the kitchen and an easy gift.
Everything you need is in the kit, threads and needle included: just add a hoop if you like to keep the fabric taut, and a small pair of scissors. The large-square chart and the colour printing make this a good project if you are still finding your way with cross stitch.
