London Counted Cross Stitch Kit by Merejka K-159

Stitch London with this Merejka counted cross-stitch kit — a snowy street scene near Big Ben with two red double-decker buses, a black cab, a lit Christmas tree, and pedestrians sheltering under umbrellas against the winter evening light. Worked on Zweigart 16-count ecru Aida fabric using premium DMC threads in 34 rich shades, this European scene is rich in detail and travel-inspired charm.

Why this kit: the mix of festive Christmas details and London landmarks gives the piece a distinct seasonal-travel appeal; 34 DMC shades render the glowing shopfronts, wet pavement reflections, and snowy rooftops with real depth; the bustling street composition offers plenty of visual interest for stitchers who enjoy detailed scenes.

Kit includes: Zweigart canvas, DMC threads, John James needles, and a colour chart, with two versions of the pattern — with and without backstitches — so stitchers can choose their preferred level of detail.

Counted cross-stitch is worked by following the colour chart and placing each stitch on the gridded Aida fabric with the indicated DMC thread color. The backstitch chart sharpens architectural lines, lamp posts, and figures for extra crispness. Work section by section until the design is complete, then frame as wall art.

Finished size: 30x40 cm (11.81x15.75 in), creating a generous artwork that looks stunning when framed. A memorable gift for travel lovers and a rewarding project for stitchers who enjoy evocative, atmospheric needlework.
