Hi,
If you put your cursor on top of the picture of the wreath and click, it will take you to another page where the wreath has the title under it. Click on the words UNDER the wreath and under "description" of the next page it give you, you will see that because it is a KIT, you will get the floss, instructions, chart, needle, etc.
I'm not an employee of ECS, but one of the stitchers that saw your question! :)

If you need more thread you will have to email or call the company. Dimensions uses their own threads.

Hello,

Since this a kit made by Dimensions, you will have to get more floss from them directly. They use their own brand of floss in their kits and the only way to get replacements is through them. Here is the info so you can get into contact with them :)

It is a beautiful wreath! Lots of wonderful colors in one pattern!! Decided where you are going to hang it or are you going the pillow route? :)

Ooh this is lovely! Just added it to my wish list - I think I would go the pillow route with this one...

It will make a beautiful pillow when completed. Since you are going to make it a pillow, I wonder if you can Scotch Guard the pillow when you have completed cross stitch the pattern.
Anyone out there ever used Scotchguard on a completed cross stitch project to keep it clean? How was the outcome in regards to the fabric and the floss?

No need for me to Scotchguard because I never made anything into a pillow. I can't sew well enough. Hope might be in sight, it seems that DD located a lady that does pillows and window treatments. Just keep it in a safe location, like a room no one uses. When you need a little reprieve and you can't make it to the beach you run into this room when no one's looking and enjoy your pillow.

I had this on my wishlist twice and removed it twice. Common sense prevailed. It is lovely.

For me, I have a "thing" for both dragonflies and sunflowers, so this has two things in it that really inspire me!

I've never tried scotchguarding before, but it's a good idea. When my grandmother made needlework pillows she always sewed them together with a zipper so it could be removed from the pillow form and washed - the one pillow I've done (which was needlepoint though, not cross stitch) I did the same with and didn't scotchguard. I kept it in my bedroom and it didn't get much wear, just looking pretty on my bed. It did get cat-haired often though, so I would lint roller it often! I removed it a couple of times to hand wash and it came out fine, but needlepoint is just so much sturdier than cross-stitch. I do wonder. I lost the pillow (and everything else) when we had a house fire in 2008, but it stood up beautifully for about ten years before that.

crafty, I also considered the pattern for the same reason. My GD loves dragonflies and sunflowers but I stitched so much already for her room. It'll look hodge-podgey soon. I have my doubts about pillows done in cross stitch. I agree that needlepoint is much sturdier for that purpose.
I've had upholstery scotch guarded and didn't notice any benefits, except the monetary ones for the retailer. We take our shoes off at the door. Shoes on the furniture is a not allowed. When the kids were little they had to change their clothes once they were ready to stay in. DH had strict rules about that. We didn't allow them to eat or drink on furniture as well. However, a guest's child spilled an orange soda on the sofa and carpet and that was that. It did not come out despite scotch guard. The same person's husband had Clorox residue on his hand and stained the same sofa - different cushion. Clorox is a different matter of course. Lucky for me the cushions were reversible. soon after I got rid of it. It just wasn't the same. Orange, grape and cherry sodas stain permanently I was told. Never bought those again.
Folex is a wonderful product. If a stain can be removed Folex will do the job. I am never without it. Home Depot has it. I order mine from Amazon and have 2 gallons in the garage right now! :)
