Are the kits stitched in silks, cotton threads (floss) or wool?
All the carpet kits contain 2-ply crewel wool. This type of wool gives a very realistic look to your finished carpet. I have deliberately chosen muted shades, so that when placed in your doll’s house or room setting, the carpet doesn’t ‘jump out’ at you visually. All the other kits (wallhangings, cushions, samplers, firescreens and bellpulls) are stitched with stranded cotton, using two strands for the wallhangings and cushions, and one strand for the other kits. I have included generous amounts of each shade in every kit, but if you run out due to mis-counting and needing to unpick a section, contact me for further supplies of the shade you need, which I will be happy to supply free of charge.

The Christmas stockings, however, are stitched with one strand of rayon silk thread.
