Colors of the Night Moonlit Peonies Counted Cross-Stitch Kit by Abris Art AH-165

Stitch Colors of the Night, a counted cross-stitch kit by Abris Art — lush violet and lilac peonies glow in the dark beneath a pale full moon, their petals edged with shimmering silver metallic thread. Worked on blue 14-count cotton Aida in 21 colours of floss plus silver, it's moody, romantic and luminous.

A little stitcher's folklore: in Chinese tradition the peony is the "queen of flowers," bringing prosperity and a happy marriage, and flowers bathed in full-moon light were said to hold their magic longest. Stitchers say moonlit peonies on the wall keep love and good fortune blooming after dark.

Why this kit: if you love dramatic, atmospheric florals, this one is stunning — and the silver thread adds real sparkle. The tall format makes a beautiful framed piece. A rewarding project for confident beginners and a lovely gift.

Kit includes: blue 14-count cotton Aida canvas, a cross stitch needle, 21 colours of cotton floss plus silver metallic thread 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 peonies and leaves, then add the moon and silver highlights.

Finished size: 23×41 cm (9.06×16.14 in). Romantic floral wall art for a bedroom or hallway.
