Capture the peaceful beauty of winter with this Merejka counted cross-stitch kit — Winter, a compact farmland scene of snow-blanketed haystacks and a small red barn beneath a soft pastel sunset sky, with two little birds pausing in the snow. Worked on Zweigart 16-count white Aida fabric with premium DMC threads in 31 rich shades, the gentle pinks and blues of the sky bring quiet warmth to the wintry palette. Why this kit: the compact scene delivers full landscape detail, sky, snow, buildings, and birds, without a large time investment; two chart versions, with and without backstitch, let stitchers choose their preferred level of outline detail on the barn and haystacks; the small finished size suits a collection of seasonal pieces or a quick, satisfying gift project. Kit includes: canvas, DMC threads, John James needles, and a detailed colour chart. Counted cross-stitch is worked by following the printed color chart and placing each stitch on the gridded Aida fabric with the indicated DMC thread shade. The optional backstitch chart adds fine definition to the barn timber and the birds' feathers. Work section by section until the design is complete, then frame as a small, collectible piece of seasonal wall art. Finished size: 11.5x11.5 cm (4.53x4.53 in), a compact, collectible piece that's perfect for framing or seasonal display. A calming and rewarding project for intermediate and experienced stitchers.
