History of Cross Stitch
Cross stitch is a form of counted thread embroidery;
it is dated back to the 6th or 7th century.
It was used to decorate household items using floral and geometric patterns, usually worked in black and red cotton floss on linen fabric.
Cross-stitch was found in a Coptic tomb in Upper Egypt, where it was preserved by the dry desert climate.

What to look in cross stitch kits
This is a guide to help you buy a counted cross stitch kit. Many designers/companies produce cross stitch kits that are not good value for money. Before making a purchase, you will need to ask them what is included in a kit - if you are buying online, look for this information in their website. If there is not, then send them an email and ask them.
