Bothy Threads Coastal Summer Long Stitch Kit MLS6

Stitch Coastal Summer, a long stitch kit by Bothy Threads from the Long Stitch Seasons series — red-roofed cottages climb above a stone harbour wall where small boats bob on blue water. A little stitcher's folklore: harbour cottages are said to have been painted in bright colours so fishermen could pick out their own home from the sea as they sailed back in. Why this kit: Rose Swalwell's seaside design builds up quickly in wool, with stranded cottons and metallic thread for the finer details on the boats and windows. Kit includes: 14-count printed canvas, 100% pure English tapestry wools, stranded cottons, metallic thread, a needle and a clear stitch diagram and instructions. A frame is not included. Follow the printed canvas and the stitch diagram, laying long straight stitches side by side to fill each roof, wall and wave, then pick out the small details in stranded cotton. Finished size: 24×17 cm (9.4×6.7 in). A sunny harbour for a hallway, holiday cottage or anyone who misses the sea.
