Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between 11CT and 14CT?
CT stands for “count” — the number of stitches per inch of fabric. 11CT has larger holes and bigger stitches, making it easier to see and handle. 14CT produces finer, more detailed results and suits stitchers with some experience.

Is this suitable for beginners?
Yes! The printed canvas shows exactly where each color goes, so there’s no need to count squares. The 11CT option is especially beginner-friendly. If you’re brand new to cross stitch, we recommend starting with the 30x30cm / 11CT variant.

Does the kit include a hoop or frame?
No hoop or frame is included. A standard 6–8 inch embroidery hoop works well for the 30x30cm canvas; a 10 inch hoop suits the 40x40cm size. The hoop also doubles as a display frame once you’re finished.

What stitches are used?
The main stitch is the cross stitch (X stitch). Backstitch is used for outlines and fine details like the Coo’s facial features. Both are explained in the included instructions.

How long does it take to complete?
The 30x30cm kit typically takes 6–10 hours; the 40x40cm kit around 10–18 hours, depending on your pace and experience. It’s a great project to work on over several evenings.

Can I wash the finished piece?
Yes. Hand wash gently in cool water with a mild detergent and lay flat to dry. Avoid wringing or machine washing to protect the stitching.
