Simpatico in Mauve Schaf-Stickset

The 18-count canvas is printed so crisply that the mauve shading looks almost like a watercolor, and those Pepperpot silk threads glide through it with zero fraying. I’ve already framed my finished piece for my desk — the unlikely pals design is just the right amount of quirky for a 5-inch square.

The silk threads feel like a treat to work with, and the mauve color palette is just as pretty in person as the picture suggested. I finished the 5x5 canvas in about a week of evenings, and the taped edges kept everything neat the whole time. This kit made me want to order another one immediately.

The 18-count canvas is perfectly taut and the pre-printed design is so crisp that I started stitching right away. Those Pepperpot Silk threads glide through the fabric like butter, making this kit a joy to work on.
