Rooster & Hen Counted Cross Stitch Kit by Merejka K-61

Stitch Rooster & Hen with this Merejka counted cross-stitch kit — a vividly plumed rooster in orange, teal, and violet standing over a brown hen and her fluffy yellow chicks, set among dried grasses on a warm brown fabric ground. Worked on Zweigart 16-count warm brown Aida fabric using premium DMC threads in 35 rich shades, the expressive design showcases Merejka's signature painterly style.

Why this kit: 35 DMC shades bring out the iridescent sheen of the rooster's tail feathers and the softer tones of the hen and chicks; the warm brown Aida ground complements the barnyard palette instead of competing with it; two chart versions, with and without backstitches, let stitchers choose their preferred level of feather and grass detail.

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 optional backstitch chart defines individual feather strands and grass blades once the base colors are filled in. Work section by section until the scene is complete, then frame it as charming country-style wall art.

Finished size: 21x21 cm (8.27x8.27 in) — an elegant mid-sized project ideal for framing or gifting. A rewarding stitch for farmyard and bird lovers who enjoy fine, detailed needlework.
