Blizzard K-290 Counted Cross-Stitch Kit

Capture the peaceful beauty of winter with this Merejka counted cross-stitch kit — Blizzard is a close-up portrait of a pale horse with a flowing cream mane, wearing an ornate red-and-gold jeweled bridle trimmed in turquoise, set against a snow-flecked background scattered with delicate snowflake motifs. Worked on Zweigart 14-count baby blue Aida fabric using premium DMC threads in 43 carefully matched shades, this evocative winter design suits seasonal display or gifting.

Why this kit: 43 DMC shades build the horse's dappled grey coat and flowing mane with real depth against the cool blue ground; two backstitch chart options let you sharpen the bridle's jewels and snowflake details or keep a softer finish; the larger 14-count fabric grid makes fine detail work a little more manageable stitch by stitch.

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

Counted cross-stitch is worked by following the detailed colour chart and placing each stitch on the gridded Aida fabric with the indicated DMC thread shade. With backstitch and no-backstitch chart versions both included, the jeweled bridle and snowflake accents can be outlined crisply or left soft and blended. Work section by section until the design is complete, then frame as a striking piece of wall art.

Finished size: 32x38 cm (12.6x14.96 in), creating a generous artwork that looks stunning when framed. A calming and rewarding project for intermediate and experienced stitchers.
