Breathing of the Forest Autumn Bouquet Counted Cross-Stitch Kit by Abris Art AH-055

Stitch Breathing of the Forest, a counted cross-stitch kit by Abris Art — a wild autumn bouquet of fluffy seed heads, thistles, dried grasses, red berries and oak leaves, with orange butterflies drifting through it on a warm cream background. Worked on 14-count cotton Aida in 40 colours of embroidery floss, it has the soft, textured feel of a forest walk in October.

A little stitcher's folklore: country people said blowing a seed head carries your wish away on the wind, and a butterfly landing near you brings good news. Oak leaves were kept for strength and long life. Stitchers say a forest bouquet on the wall keeps the calm of the woods inside the house.

Why this kit: if you love natural, foraged-look florals, this bouquet is endlessly interesting to stitch — 40 shades of gold, rust and green. It's a rich, absorbing project for confident beginners and experienced stitchers. A beautiful gift for nature lovers.

Kit includes: white 14-count cotton Aida canvas, a cross stitch needle, 40 colours of cotton floss on an organizer card, a printed symbol chart, and instructions in 8 languages.

Counted cross stitch is worked by following the symbol chart and placing each cross on the Aida grid with the matching floss colour. Work the bouquet section by section, then add the butterflies.

Finished size: 26×33 cm (10.24×12.99 in). Warm autumn decor and a thoughtful gift for walkers and gardeners.
