Stitch Swirling Thistles, a counted cross stitch kit by Bothy Threads — purple thistles and pink roses spin around a central star inside a frame of dusky pink scrollwork.
A little stitcher's folklore: legend says the thistle saved Scotland when a barefoot Norse raider trod on one at night and his cry woke the sleeping defenders.
Why this kit: Beth Buffington's design, from the Bothy Threads Winter 2025 Collection, adds gold and white beads to the flower heads for a subtle shimmer.
Kit includes: 14-count cream Zweigart Aida, pre-sorted stranded cottons, beads, needles and a clear stitch diagram and instructions. Stitches used: cross stitch and back stitch. A frame is not included.
Work outwards from the centre in cross stitch, add the scrolls and stems in back stitch, then sew on the beads last.
Finished size: 28×28 cm (11×11 in). A striking gift for anyone with Scottish roots.
