September Colour Counted Cross Stitch Kit by Merejka K-221

Stitch September Colour with this Merejka counted cross-stitch kit — a rich autumn bouquet of magenta zinnias, clustered red viburnum berries, and deep purple asters gathered in a glass vase, with a couple of loose berries scattered on the table below. Stitched on Zweigart 16-count ice blue Aida fabric with premium DMC threads in 36 carefully matched shades, the design leans into deep jewel tones for a warm, late-summer palette.

Why this kit: 36 DMC shades build the zinnias, berries, and asters in true depth from deep magenta to soft violet; two chart versions — with and without backstitches — let you choose the fine detail on the glass vase and berry clusters; the ice blue Aida background makes the warm autumn colors read even more vividly.

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 vase outline and berry clusters, while the no-backstitch version keeps a softer, blended finish. Work section by section until the design is complete, then frame as a rich seasonal wall piece.

An excellent project for experienced stitchers who appreciate the detail and depth of Merejka's designs, and a lovely handmade gift for anyone who loves late-summer color.
