what level of experience is required
Is this cross stitch for "experienced" stitchers?

Hello,

I would say that this one falls somewhere in the middle as far as experience goes. There's only 33 colors and it's all full stitches so it wouldn't be that hard to complete. I don't think I would do this one as a beginner though just because of the amount of colors. I would start with something smaller if I were starting out. Hope this helps!

Kristi is right -- this looks like something for someone with a little experience but it doesn't look like it's over the top. The biggest challenge will be getting all of the colors separated. I'm not sure who the manufacturer is for this kit. Some companies pre-sort the colors for you, some do not. If the colors are somewhat close - just try to do the sorting when you are in natural light. Artificial light can sometimes bring out overtones in the floss that can be misleading. The fact that all of the stitches will be full - or regular - cross stiches will make it relatively easy to do. Changing colors will be a bit of a hassle but the finished product will be worth it. Enjoy!!

This is not a kit but a pattern. The good news is that you will not have to 'sort' the colors supplied by a manufacturer; the bad news is that you will need to purchase those floss colors that you do not already have.
