Romeo & Juliet Counted Cross Stitch Kit by Merejka K-191

Create the charming Romeo & Juliet with this Merejka counted cross-stitch kit — two fluffy tabby kittens perch and lounge in front of a well-stocked bookshelf, beside a small marble bust and volumes that include a copy of Shakespeare, on a lace-trimmed tabletop. Worked on Zweigart 16-count ecru Aida fabric using premium DMC threads in 33 rich shades, this design is warm, inviting, and perfect for home display or as a heartfelt gift.

Why this kit: 33 DMC shades build up the kittens' fur in soft, realistic layers of cream, grey, and orange; the bookshelf and literary details give the scene charm beyond a simple pet portrait; the kitten subject makes it an easy favorite for cat lovers and cross stitch kit fans alike.

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

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 whiskers, book spines, and bookshelf edges, while the version without backstitches keeps the kittens' fur soft and blended. Work section by section until the design is complete, then frame it as wall art.

Finished size: 34.5x26 cm (13.58x10.24 in), creating a generous artwork that looks stunning when framed. A satisfying project for stitchers who love cat and library-themed scenes, and a beautiful handmade gift for any occasion.
