Rainy Paris Counted Cross Stitch Kit by Merejka K-162

Stitch Rainy Paris with this Merejka counted cross-stitch kit — a rain-slicked Parisian street with the Eiffel Tower rising in the distance, flower stalls, cafe umbrellas, and glowing streetlamps reflected on the wet cobblestones. Worked on Zweigart 16-count ice blue Aida fabric using premium DMC threads in 29 rich shades, this European scene is rich in detail and travel-inspired charm.

Why this kit: the wet-pavement reflections and moody lighting give the piece an atmospheric, cinematic quality; 29 DMC shades render the misty blues and warm lamp glow in convincing contrast; the flower stalls and iconic tower make it instantly recognizable as a Paris scene.

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 adds definition to the lamp posts, tower structure, and shop signage for extra crispness. Work section by section until complete, then frame as wall art.

Finished size: 21x29 cm (8.27x11.42 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.
