This mini hand embroidery kit features a beautiful late-summer landscape, worked in a single satin stitch that makes it an especially approachable first project. It's a relaxing, satisfying stitch that leaves you with a lovely piece of hoop art to display once finished.

Hawthorn Handmade is a small, independent studio based in Dorset on the south coast of the UK. Each kit is designed with beginners in mind, walking you through everything from the very first step to the very last stitch.

Kit includes:

• Pre-printed 100% cotton fabric -- the design is already on the fabric, so you simply follow the lines
• 4" (10.2cm) wooden embroidery hoop that won't splinter and holds the fabric firmly while you stitch
• DMC embroidery threads in a variety of colors, with extra included for mistakes
• Embroidery needle made by John James in England
• Stitch-by-numbers style pattern card with a guide to the satin stitch
• Guide to Embroidery booklet covering setup, an illustrated guide to 20 stitches, and finishing/framing tips
• Gift box packaging

This kit is recommended for ages 14 and up, as it includes sharp needles.
