Counted Cross Stitch and Other Counted Thread Designs

We love many forms of hand embroidery but counted cross stitch ranks right at the top. In our store we stock a wonderful selection of imported European counted cross stitch kits from companies such as Lanarte, Eva Rosenstand, the Danish Handcraft Guild, Thea Gouverneur and Maria van Scharrenburg. With the exception of a LIMITED number of Lanarte designs and some Danish Handcraft Guild books, products from these companies are available only in kit form (all Lanarte charts that were available as chart only are going out of print and most are no longer available in chart-only form). All are packaged with the highest quality materials including DMC floss, good quality fabric (generally to be stitched "over 2", not with aida), and clear, easy-to-use charts. We also carry a huge selection of kits from the American company Shepherd's Bush. Shepherd's Bush kits are almost always on linen (28 or 32 count) and most of them are stitched with silk embroidery thread, and come with fun beads, charms, buttons or other attachments.

In addition to the kits listed above, we carry an ever-changing array of counted cross stitch graphs or leaflets. As a general rule you will find in our store pretty much ALL the designs by Mirabilia and Lavender Lace (as well as all the supplies needed to make them).

We also have some patterns in blackwork, pulled thread, and many books on Hardanger embroidery.

To the left is a partial listing of counted thread designers whose designs we carry with links to the designers' own websites. We keep in stock a good selection but of course not all of their charts and kits; if you are looking for specific cross stitch charts or wanting to search by a category such as "birth samplers" or "houses", we recommend you take a look at the Hoffman Distributing website, which lists literally thousands of charts (all of which you may special-order from us if we do not have them in stock).
