What do you get in a flowers cross stitch kit?
Fabric
Fabrics commonly used in cross stitch is Aida. Other options include evenweave and linen. These come in the exact count but are made of different materials.
These fabrics are ideal for cross stitch since they are evenly weaved. There are tiny squares with holes for you to make your X stitches. These fabrics come in different counts. The higher the count, the smaller the stitches will be. The result is a smaller design.
The count is the number of holes in every inch of the fabric. Typical counts in Aida are 14, 16 and 18. Other options include 6, 8 and 11. Evenweave and linen range from 20 to 36 count. If you want to get started on a flower design cross stitch project, purchase a kit from Craft Club. Cross stitch kits from Craft Club feature easy-to-follow designs. The fabric included in the kit is Aida cloth which is best for novice stitchers.
Needles
Needles for cross stitch come in varying sizes that indicate the needleโs thickness. The standard size is 24, which is perfect for 14 count Aida cloth.
The bigger the count of your fabric, the bigger the size of the needle you need. If you use a 16 count Aida cloth or 32 counts evenweave, you will need a size 26 needle. An 18 count Aida cloth will need a size 28 needle.
Hoops and frames
Embroidery hoops are used to keep your cloth tight while you cross-stitch on it. It makes it easier to stitch your design.
Hoops and frames come in a vast range of sizes and shapes as well as materials. You can find wooden or rubber hoops. You can also use plastic tubes rather than a hoop.
Hoops can be round, oval, or rectangle. You can get them as small as 2 inches to as large as 12 inches. You can even purchase frames that sit on a stand, so you donโt have to grip them while you are stitching.
Thread or floss
Threads used for cross stitch are composed of 6 strands of thread. For cross-stitch projects, you only need a couple of these strands. You will get tons of stitches out of 1 skein of floss.
Pattern
Patterns such as flowers cross stitch patterns are typically made up of symbols. Some are in colour while some are in black and white. Both have benefits. Coloured patterns are easy to follow, but black and white are easier to mark as you stitch. As a pro-tip, if you use a pencil to mark your stitches, you can erase it when you are finished and use it again.
How to choose the right flower cross stitch kit?
If you are a beginner, it is recommended to purchase a cross stitch kit specifically for beginners. Beginner kits are designed to help you master the skills you need to tackle more complicated projects. A cross stitch kit for beginners will include:
- Basic cross stitch instructions.
- A simple pattern that only uses several colours.
- A chart with colours that can be easily read.
- You will also have the fabric and floss needed to get started on your project.

But if you are already skillful with the needle, you can look for a counted cross stitch kit with more detailed designs and images. Since you already know how to stitch, you can choose a more advanced pattern. After learning the basics, you can save money by buying kits. It has everything you need, so you donโt have to waste your time searching for supplies. Purchasing individual skeins of floss can get costly if you need plenty of colours. Most of the cross-stitch kits sold in stores will have standard charts and are designed to suit the requirements of the intermediate stitcher. Because of this, choosing one is a matter of selecting a design that appeals to you.
