Protector of the Sun Egyptian Cat Counted Cross-Stitch Kit by Abris Art AH-234

Stitch Protector of the Sun, a counted cross-stitch kit by Abris Art — an elegant seated cat in cream and gold, decorated with swirling Egyptian-style patterns, sits before a radiant golden sunburst. Worked on 100% cotton Aida in 15 colours of floss, with glass beads and metallic thread.

A little stitcher's folklore: in ancient Egypt cats were sacred to Bastet and to the sun god Ra, and a cat in the house was believed to guard it from all harm. Stitchers say this sun cat protects the home and fills it with warmth.

Why this kit: if you love cats and elegant, tone-on-tone designs, this piece is refined and quietly luxurious, with shimmering metallic highlights. A satisfying project for stitchers with a little experience, and a perfect gift for cat lovers.

Kit includes: 100% cotton Aida canvas, a cross stitch needle, 15 colours of embroidery floss on an organizer, glass beads and a beading needle, decorative metallic thread, 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 cat's patterns first, then the sunburst rays and metallic details.

Finished size: 37×25 cm (14.57×9.84 in). Elegant wall art and a gift for cat lovers.
