Roses are Red

A contemporary cross stitch design, with a traditional theme of roses, stitched in tomato red on white linen. This is a great kit for anyone new to counted cross stitch as the use of a single colour makes the stitching very straightforward and, most importantly, fast! The individual motifs could be adapted to decorate other linens such as pillowcases or napkins - simply use a waste canvas.

The kit contains a full colour chart, detailed stitching instructions, Anchor stranded embroidery cotton and a John James embroidery needle. You have the choice of either 28 count cashel linen or 14 count Aida.

The finished design measures approximately 18cm x 18cm when stitched over:
* 2 strands of thread on cashel linen
* 1 square on Aida
