COMPLETE GOTHIC MOTH KIT - the death's-head hawkmoth ringed by the phases of the moon, worked in 11 shades of 100% cotton mouline. Includes colour chart, 14 count white Aida, pre-sorted floss on a numbered organiser, metal needle and full instructions. IMPORTANT - COUNTED CROSS STITCH: the Aida is blank, with no printed image on it. You follow the paper chart and count the squares. This is a fully stitched design, so the finished piece is dense and richly coloured throughout. COLOUR BLOCK CHART, NOT SYMBOLS - every shade is printed as a solid colour block rather than a look-alike symbol, so there is no squinting at * against + or b against 6. The floss arrives wound on a numbered organiser card that matches the chart key. FINISHED SIZE 20.5 x 21 cm (8.07 x 8.27 in) - close to square, so it frames neatly. Stitches used: full cross in two strands and back stitch in two strands for the wing veins and antennae. A DARKER PIECE FOR THE WALL - legend has it the species was first recorded in Britain at the execution of Charles I, and Holman Hunt painted one into The Hireling Shepherd. Only 11 colours, so the counting stays manageable.
