Our story
Slow craft in a fast world
Not downloaded. Not ordered. Made - one stitch, one colour, one calm evening at a time. Cross Stitch Kits UK is for beginners picking up a needle for the first time, seasoned stitchers after a modern or animal design, and anyone who wants to swap the endless scroll for something they can hold. Every kit arrives with everything you need, and every finished piece earns the quiet right to say: I made that.

Cross stitch kits, UK delivered
Everything you need, in one box
A cross stitch kit should not send you shopping again before you can start. Every kit here arrives complete - fabric cut to size, threads sorted and labelled to the chart, a blunt tapestry needle and instructions written for a human being. Open the box, thread up, begin.
Where to start if you have never stitched
Begin with a beginner or starter kit. The designs use fewer colours, bigger blocks and a lower fabric count, so your stitches land where you expect them to. From there, easy kits and kits for adults step you up gently. Stitching with a child? The children's kits use blunt needles and wide-holed cloth.
Counted, printed or stamped?
Counted work gives you plain fabric and a chart to follow - the purest version of the craft, and the most portable. Printed and stamped kits have the design applied to the cloth already, so there is no counting and no losing your place. Neither is better; they suit different evenings.
Choosing by what you want on the wall
Most people pick the picture first. Florals remain the most stitched theme we stock, followed by animals and British garden birds. For something cleaner-lined, try modern and contemporary designs; for something traditional to date and sign, the samplers.
Supplies, when the stash runs low
We stock the working parts on their own too: aida fabric by the count, threads and floss in sorted sets, hoops, needles and frames, and the small tools that quietly make the hobby easier.
Delivery, and what happens if it is not right
UK delivery is free over £20 and £5.99 under, dispatched within 48 hours Monday to Friday. If a kit is not what you hoped, tell us and we refund it in full - we pay the return postage. That is the whole policy.
Common questions
Cross stitch kits: your questions answered
What comes in a cross stitch kit?
Everything you need to finish the piece: the fabric cut to size, the threads sorted and labelled to the chart, a blunt tapestry needle and printed instructions. You do not need to buy anything separately to start.
Which cross stitch kit is best for a complete beginner?
A beginner or starter kit. They use fewer colours, larger blocks of one shade and a lower fabric count, so your stitches land where you expect. Most people finish their first one in an afternoon or two.
What is the difference between counted and printed cross stitch?
Counted kits give you plain fabric and a chart to follow, so you count each square. Printed or stamped kits have the design applied to the fabric already, so there is no counting and no losing your place.
How much is delivery, and how fast is it?
UK delivery is free on orders over £20 and £5.99 below that. Everything is dispatched within 48 hours, Monday to Friday.
What if I do not get on with my kit?
Return it for a full refund and we pay the return postage. Our 100% money-back guarantee covers every order.
Do you sell cross stitch supplies on their own?
Yes. Aida fabric by the count, threads and floss in sorted sets, hoops, needles, frames and the small accessories that make stitching easier - all available separately.
