Spring Awakening: Freshness Counted Cross Stitch Kit by Merejka K-302

Stitch Spring Awakening: Freshness with this Merejka counted cross-stitch kit — the same vivid parrot tulip motif rendered against a darker, high-contrast backdrop of deep navy and teal brushstrokes that make the orange and coral petals seem to glow. Worked on Zweigart 16-count cappuccino Aida fabric using premium DMC threads in 28 rich shades, the design is rich in color, texture, and graceful detail.

Why this kit: the dramatic dark background gives the tulip's warm tones exceptional contrast and visual impact; 28 DMC shades build up smooth petal shading from deep shadow to bright highlight; two chart versions, with and without backstitches, suit different levels of outline detail.

Kit includes: Zweigart canvas, DMC threads, John James needles, and a colour chart.

Counted cross-stitch is worked by following the colour chart and placing each stitch on the gridded Aida fabric with the indicated DMC thread shade. Choose the backstitch version to add fine linework along the petal edges and stamens, or stitch the color-only chart for a softer, painterly look. Work section by section until the design is complete, then frame it as bold wall art.

Finished size: 27x27 cm (10.63x10.63 in), creating a generous artwork that looks stunning when framed. An eye-catching project for home display and a thoughtful handmade gift for flower lovers and needlework enthusiasts.
