Rare Santa Claus Wool Cross Stitch Sampler Kit Open Mesh

 

’His eyes-how they twinkled! His dimples how merry! His cheeks were like roses, His nose like a cherry!" ( from Clement Clarke Moore’s Visit from Saint Nicholas). The merry face of good old Saint Nicholas is captured realistically in this long out of production for the counted cross stitch artist by Bernat. This lovely Christmas design is worked in beautiful acrylic wools on a lovely open mesh fabric; similar to needlepoint mesh but a bit less stiff, and infused throughout with gold metallic threads which give it a shimmering appearance. The results are absolutely gorgeous! Use as illustrated as a simple wall banner, or have creatively framed.
