Hi Marnia! If you click on that pattern all the thread is listed under it and you should be able to click on them to order them from here.

I hope this helps!!

If you go to item, scoll down to Product Supplies. Has all the threads listed and how many of each you will need. Have fun.

The quantities listed are sufficient? The numbers refer to a bunch of threads, am I correct?

Each "1" for .56 cents will be a skein of floss. The supplies list a couple colors that indicate you will need 2 skeins. Otherwise, 1 skein per color should be sufficient.

In my opinion, this will be an ambitious beginning project. Be sure to take your time and don't get too frustrated.

The designer is Artecy which has great patterns and very clear charts. If you are truly a beginner, please start with a smaller project with fewer colors. I have been stitching for years and would be extremely challenged by this piece.

There is a button on the bottom that says ADD ALL this will add everything in the list to your cart. Make sure to count areas that have lots of one color more that once. Do all one color one way (/) and every 10 make a complete stitch then go back completing the stitches (\). so go one way /////////X/////////X (20 stitches one way) then go back \\\\\\\\\ completing the X.

Hope this helps. Go for it you will have fun. it is really big and results won't be quick. Start in the middle and if you want to stitch your way to the top right hand corner. If you start in the middle you can be sure that it will all fit on the cloth.
