Get groovy with our "Follow the Call of the Disco Ball" fully stitched modern cross stitch kit! Designed for XStitch Mag Issue 15, now available for purchase. Perfect for your next kitchen disco.
The stitched design measures 87 stitches across and is 131 stitches high. When stitched on 14ct aida the design measures approximately 16cm x 23.5cm.
Each Fully Stitched cross stitch kit contains:
1x Full colour printed counted cross stitch chart with blocks and symbols;
1x Piece of 14ct black aida, with pre-overlocked edges measuring approx. 33cm x 45cm;
2x Size 24 cross stitch needles (because one always gets lost down the back of the sofa!)
1x Tips and Tricks card to help you get started
Enough DMC stranded embroidery floss to complete the design
All in a black Stitchsperation gift box.
*The only other piece you need to complete the kit is an embroidery frame of your choice to keep the fabric taught while you stitch and perhaps a frame to hang it in pride of place when it's finished. I recommend an 8" frame for regular kits.
Please note, embroidery hoops, picture frames and any other props in photos are NOT included.
Upgrade your kit to a Deluxe kit, perfect for Gifting. A deluxe kit includes:
• A full fully stitched kit;
• An 8" Snap Frame (worth £15);

• A black luxury gift box.
What’s the difference between 14ct Aida & 28ct Evenweave?
Both these fabrics produce the same size design.
Aida is what I call, 'traditional' cross stitch fabric. If you did cross stitch as a kid, you probably did it on this. The holes are very obvious and you can clearly see where the stitches go. Aida is quite stiff and and doesn't always require a frame or hoop to stitch on. Sticthsperation kits come with 14ct aida which means your design will have 14 stitches per inch.
Aida is great for beginners.
Evenweave may seem a little tricker as there are lots of holes, but produces a very clean background which can make the finished kit look like a print from a distance. The term evenweave applies to any fabric that is "evenly woven", so it has the same number of threads per inch in both the vertical and horizontal directions, and all the threads have the same thickness. Evenweave has more drape than aida so it's great if you want to make your finished piece into a cushion or bag.
Stitchsperation kits come with 28ct evenweve, this means there are 28 stitches per inch if you stitch through every hole but the trick with evenweave is to stitch through every other hole, therefore getting 14 stitches per inch - the same as the aida!
