Wild Spirit Counted Cross Stitch Kit by Merejka K-217

Stitch Wild Spirit in vivid, lifelike detail with this Merejka counted cross-stitch kit — a red fox pauses at a forest stream to drink, its reflection mirrored in the water among fallen autumn leaves, mossy roots, and shelf mushrooms. Worked on Zweigart 16-count ice blue Aida fabric with premium DMC threads in 42 carefully matched shades, this expressive animal design showcases Merejka's signature painterly style.

Why this kit: 42 DMC shades build the fox's russet coat and its rippled reflection with striking realism; two chart versions — with and without backstitches — let you choose the crispness of the fur and foliage detail; the ice blue Aida base adds a cool, woodland undertone that makes the fox's warm coloring pop.

Kit includes: Zweigart canvas, DMC threads, John James needles, and a colour chart.

Counted cross-stitch is worked by following the colour chart and placing each stitch on the gridded Aida fabric with the indicated DMC thread shade. The backstitch version sharpens the fox's whiskers, fur texture, and water ripples, while the no-backstitch version keeps a softer, blended finish. Work section by section until the design is complete, then frame as a striking wildlife wall piece.

Finished size: 32.5x48 cm (12.8x18.9 in) — an impressive large-format design that becomes a striking focal point on any wall. A stunning project for wildlife and animal lovers who appreciate fine, detailed needlework.
