This modern embroidery kit gives you all three printed and ready to stitch, with the threads, a 20 cm bamboo hoop and the tools already in the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery wedge of every wheel is its own small project, so there is always a piece you can finish in one sitting — a leaf, a rose, a row of waves — and you get to watch the whole circle fill with colour. When the last section is done you have three cheerful hoops to hang side by side, or to give away to someone who will love them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause each wedge works a different stitch or motif, you end up practising a whole range of embroidery without ever stitching a plain practice row. It is a relaxed, satisfying way to learn hand embroidery, and the finished pieces look good enough to keep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0514\/1082\/9474\/files\/2_661315c6-0dfb-4de9-be9f-262aa5e13783.jpg?v=1724920747\" alt=\"Three finished modern embroidery samplers — dolphin, butterfly and flower basket — on a wooden table\" width=\"480\" height=\"480\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 pre-printed fabrics: the butterfly wheel, the flower basket wheel and the dolphin and turtle wheel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 thread cards, one pre-sorted for each design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 bamboo embroidery hoop, 20 cm (7.9 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 English instruction sheets, one per design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA pack of embroidery needles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 needle threader\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 seam ripper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 pair of small scissors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose \u003cstrong\u003e2 Kits\u003c\/strong\u003e to get two complete sets — handy for stitching alongside a friend, or for keeping one to give as a gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0514\/1082\/9474\/files\/8_fc150f12-d43d-43f8-adae-712176f6a7fe.jpg?v=1725343957\" alt=\"Parts list graphic: three printed fabrics, a 20 cm hoop, three thread cards, three English instruction sheets, a needle threader, a seam ripper, scissors and needles\" width=\"480\" height=\"480\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe three designs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eButterfly wheel.\u003c\/strong\u003e An orange and black butterfly sits in the middle, surrounded by a red ladybird, a sunflower, a maple leaf, raised roses, a rainbow, leaves and rows of decorative stitches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlower basket wheel.\u003c\/strong\u003e A woven basket of red and pink roses fills the centre, with flowers, leaves, a little cross-hatched lattice and lines of fancy stitches radiating out to the edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDolphin wheel.\u003c\/strong\u003e A blue dolphin and a smiling turtle swim across a wavy band of sea with a crab and seaweed, framed by shells, a starfish, small flowers and rows of colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0514\/1082\/9474\/files\/7_bb3a65a5-4a17-4a01-a263-a19822b5eefe.jpg?v=1725343957\" alt=\"Three finished embroidery hoops displayed on a red wall above a white cabinet\" width=\"480\" height=\"480\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach design is printed on the fabric in fine blue lines.
