Kit Includes: Beads, JABC button, Mill Hill 14 Ct. Perforated or Painted Perforated Paper, floss, needles, and chart. Finished size: 5"x5".
While we still have kits in stock with Perforated Paper, newer Mill Hill kits are now being made with Perforated PVC. We were skeptical at first, but here's what our testing has revealed so far:
1. Perforated PVC looks and feels nearly identical to perforated paper, and nothing like plastic canvas. It's sturdy and easy to hold, and is slightly harder to bend.
2. Our needle and thread glide just as smoothly through the new PVC as they do through paper, and finished stitches on both materials look nearly identical.
3. The new PVC is some sturdy stuff. It's much harder to tear than the paper, so you can pull your threads as tight as you want without having to worry about deforming holes or ripping. We also expect the PVC to be more resistant to decay and yellowing.
All in all, while (like many in the community) we were originally hesitant about this change, our first impressions have been very positive.
Reviews From CustomersWho Purchased This Item
from United States on 10/25/2016 - So pleased to find this I am nearly done with this piece, the 4th one I have done in the Mill Hill Kit of shells. My daughter in law loves all things sea/florida/sand, you get the idea. I made the Conch shell for her first, she loved it so now I have completed the other 3 for her. In fact, I love these so much, I am going to re-use the directions and make them all for myself. This is a wonderful set. I highly recommend it.
from United States on 07/13/2015 - Easy and fun. The pattern was fairly easy to stitch and turned out great.
from United States on 04/14/2015 - Nautilus Shell Xstitch I love the way it turned out. Easy to do.
