| Scotland is our biggest kit. The design size is 20½ × 33¾ inches (525 × 860 mm) and the stitch count is 279 x 456. At very nearly 34 inches high this is not a kit for the faint-hearted, but in our view if you only ever do one map of Scotland, it has to be this one. Combining the greens, blues and purples that make up the Scottish land and sea scapes, this design incorporates over 40 buildings including some of the most famous in the land, ferries, puffers, fishing boats, lighthouses and all the landscape features that you've come to expect in a Mearnscraft design. There are over 100 rivers and a lot of lochs as well as a Saltire, Thistle, and Lion Rampant. The kit is supplied with a large piece of ivory 27-count Zweigart Linda evenweave, 36 shades of Anchor stranded cotton (floss) either in skeins or ready sorted on organisers, Madeira gold metallic and rayon threads, a gold-plated needle, 10 large clear overlapping A3-size charts, enlarged charts illustrating the detail on buildings, boats, etc. and providing historical details on all the buildings and several of the other features, and full instructions. There's an alphabet and number chart so that you can include any additional place names you may want and sign your work when finished. It's quite a bulky pack! The chartpack has everything the kit has got except for the material, threads and needle. Stitches used are cross, back and long stitch. |
