This counted cross stitch kit is a celebration of all things bread -- bagel, baguette, croissant, and more -- rendered in a fun, graphic design on 14-count Aida cloth. Work through the design one color at a time with DMC embroidery thread and finish the piece in the included hoop or in a 5-inch frame. The Stranded Stitch is a small independent studio based in Los Angeles, founded by designer Natalie Naito. The Stranded Stitch is a New York Times Wirecutter pick for Best Fiber Craft Kits for Adults -- and the Bread Head kit is the one they featured in the article. Kit includes: Counted cross stitch pattern 14-count Aida cloth DMC embroidery thread Embroidery hoop Embroidery needle Step-by-step instructions Finished design size: 5 inches. Rated easy -- a strong choice for beginners, though the design may use multiple thread colors and a higher stitch count than a very basic starter kit.
