A classic nutcracker soldier, with his tall red hat, snowy whiskers, and gold-trimmed uniform, takes center stage in this printed needlepoint kit, framed by a golden star, a fir tree, and a poinsettia. Designed in a bold, modern geometric style and printed in full color on the canvas, it's an easy, relaxing holiday stitch for beginners.

Collection D'Art is the needlepoint line from RTO, an independent Estonian needlework brand with 30 years of experience. Their printed canvases are crisp and detailed, and each kit comes with quality materials, so you can focus on enjoying the stitching.

Kit includes:

• Zweigart 100% cotton canvas, printed in full color
• 100% cotton tapestry threads
• John James tapestry needle
• Detailed instructions (in 10 languages)
• Printed reference image of the finished design

This is a beginner-level project; finished, it measures approximately 20 x 25 cm (8" x 10").
