Mill Hill MH18-2216 Milk Can Counted Cross Stitch Kit
Make a beautiful decoration with this fully inclusive Mill Hill "Milk Can" counted cross stitch kit. The design features an old fashioned milk can, filled with pretty blooms, worked in counted cross stitch on perforated paper, further embellished with counted beadwork and a glass treasure.
If you have not worked on perforated paper before, this may be of interest - perforated paper dates back to the Victorian era, and has been used by needleworkers to create embroidered pieces to be used as cards and ornaments. This paper is extremely firm and resists tearing but can be cut with scissors or a craft knife. Wrinkles can be removed using a warm iron.
This kit contains glass beads and treasure, 14 count perforated paper, stranded embroidery floss, needles, chartered design and full instructions.
Finished size: approximately 5.7cm x 8.9cm
Recommended for ages 9 and up
Kit made in the USA from local and imported parts
