{"product_id":"new-arachova-antique-cross-stitch-folk-embroidery-kit","title":"NEW! Arachova Antique cross stitch folk embroidery kit","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe Arachova Antique folk embroidery kit is inspired by the weaving and embroidery traditions of Arachova, Greece, a mountain village known for its hand-woven wool rugs, distinctive folk costumes, and a deep commitment to the textile arts. The central medallion comes from a vintage embroidery pattern fragment I saw on one of my trips there, and the small outer border is a popular folk costume hem border. Stitched in a classic Mediterranean palette of terra cotta, black, soft olive, gold, and blue, it can be finished as either a table runner, bolster cushion, or wall hanging. I originally designed this as the exclusive for the Pacific NW Stitch Summit!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat you'll make:\u003c\/strong\u003e an 11 x 22-1\/2 table runner (\u003cem\u003ecan also be finished as a bolster cushion or wall hanging; lining fabric is not included in kit\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's in your kit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eOne 15 x 27\" piece of 26ct 100% cotton Traditional Groundcloth in natural\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eDMC 6-strand embroidery floss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eJohn James size 24 cross stitch needle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFull color chart and instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStitches used:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cross stitch, backstitch \u003cstrong\u003eSkill level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intermediate \u003cstrong\u003eStitch count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16,332 cross stitches, 7176 backstitches (119 x 269 stitch area)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does \"intermediate\" mean for this kit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt means you're ready to settle into a project that will give you many enjoyable stitching sessions.
