Sweet Orange Christmas Mug Counted Cross-Stitch Kit by Abris Art AHM-029

Stitch Sweet Orange, a Christmas counted cross-stitch kit by Abris Art — a festive red mug of hot mulled drink with orange slices and a candy cane, framed by the looping words "It's the most wonderful time of the year!" and little sparkling stars. Worked on 100% cotton Zweigart Aida in 18 colours of embroidery floss.

A little stitcher's folklore: oranges were once a precious Christmas treat tucked into stockings for good luck and plenty in the new year, and a warm drink shared with guests was the heart of a winter welcome. Stitchers say this cheerful mug keeps the house cosy all season.

Why this kit: if you want a quick, happy holiday stitch, this is it — bright, festive and done in a few evenings. The hoop is included and doubles as a frame. Easy for beginners and a perfect Christmas gift or Secret Santa.

Kit includes: 100% cotton Zweigart Aida canvas, an embroidery hoop, a cross stitch needle, 18 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 mug and oranges, then the lettering and stars.

Finished size: 15×15 cm (5.91×5.91 in). Cheerful Christmas kitchen decor and a sweet gift.
