Tender Peonies Counted Cross Stitch Kit by Merejka K-177

Stitch a stunning floral composition with this Merejka counted cross-stitch kit — Tender Peonies gathers full, ruffled peony blooms in soft pink and lilac, with tight buds and green foliage set against a warm, softly clouded background. Worked on Zweigart 16-count ecru Aida fabric using premium DMC threads in 30 rich shades, this botanical design is rich in color, texture, and graceful detail.

Why this kit: 30 DMC shades shift gradually from blush pink to soft lavender within each petal; the layered blooms and buds create a full, gallery-ready composition in a compact size; the peony subject is a natural fit for cross stitch kits for adults who enjoy classic floral still life.

Kit includes: canvas, DMC threads, John James needles, and a detailed colour chart, with two pattern versions — with and without backstitches — for a customizable 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 version defines petal edges and leaf veins, while the version without backstitches lets the color blending alone carry the softness of the blooms. Work section by section until the design is complete, then frame it as wall art.

Finished size: 22x24 cm (8.66x9.45 in) — an elegant mid-sized project ideal for framing or gifting. An elegant project for home display and a thoughtful handmade gift for flower lovers and needlework enthusiasts.
