What’s Included in a Cross Stitch Kit?
So you’re thinking about buying a cross stitch kit… but what exactly are you getting? Whether you’re new to the craft or just curious, we’re breaking down everything that comes inside an Innocent Bones cross stitch kit.
Spoiler: It’s got everything you need to get started – no stress, no extra shopping, just pure crafty joy.
1. Aida Fabric (Your Stitching Canvas)
All of our kits come with high-quality Aida fabric. This is the gridded fabric you’ll stitch onto. We choose the best count to match the design so you get a neat, satisfying finish every time.
2. Embroidery Hoop (Your Frame + Workspace)
You’ll get a wooden embroidery hoop to keep your fabric taut while you stitch. It also doubles as a frame for your finished piece – just tighten, tidy, and hang!
3. Colourful Threads (Pre-Sorted)
Each kit includes plenty of DMC embroidery thread – beautifully rich colours and sorted so you can jump right in without tangles or confusion.
4. Backing Fabric (For a Professional Finish)
We include a square of backing fabric so you can finish and frame your piece neatly inside the hoop. It gives your work a polished, professional look.
5. Tapestry Needle (Don’t Worry, It’s Blunt!)
Each kit comes with a blunt-ended tapestry needle, perfect for passing through Aida fabric without splitting threads. No hunting through your sewing box required.
6. Printed Colour Pattern (No Guesswork Here)
Our patterns are printed in colour on high-quality paper with easy-to-follow symbols and grids. We make sure they’re clear, clean, and fun to use.
7. Cross Stitching Guide (So You’re Never Lost)
Every Innocent Bones kit includes a clear, friendly cross stitching guide that walks you through the basics, great if it’s your first time or if you’re a bit rusty.
Here’s a sneak peek at what it looks like:
Whether you're stitching for mindfulness, fun, or to create the perfect gift, we’ve made sure you have everything you need in the box.
