Colored Town-2 European Street Counted Cross-Stitch Kit by Abris Art AH-147

Stitch Colored Town-2, a cityscape counted cross-stitch kit by Abris Art — a cheerful row of tall gabled houses in red, orange, yellow and blue, with little shopfronts and awnings at street level, set against a softly sketched sky. Worked on white 14-count cotton Aida in 21 colours of embroidery floss, the outlines leave parts of the scene as a delicate drawing.

A little stitcher's folklore: there's a well-loved needlework omen — stitch a house and you'll have a home of your own. A whole street of them, stitchers say, is a wish for good neighbours and a place where you truly belong.

Why this kit: if you love European architecture, this bright little street is charming and very manageable thanks to its half-stitched, half-sketched style. It's great for confident beginners. A thoughtful gift for travellers and new homeowners.

Kit includes: white 14-count cotton Aida canvas, a cross stitch needle, 21 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. Stitch the colourful houses first, then the outlines and sky.

Finished size: 22×21 cm (8.66×8.27 in). Travel-themed wall art and a thoughtful housewarming gift.
