16 animal designs in long stitch - straight stitches of thick yarn worked over a printed canvas, so there is no chart and no counting. If counted work is what you want, browse our animal cross stitch kits instead.
Long stitch is the quick, bold cousin of cross stitch. The design is printed in colour on the canvas, and you fill each area with long vertical stitches of thick yarn - no chart to follow, no squares to count, and each stitch covers many times more canvas than a cross.
That makes these kits ideal for newer stitchers, for children working on a first proper project, and for anyone who wants a finished piece in days rather than months. The kits include the printed canvas, the yarns, a needle and instructions; Vervaco's cushion designs make up the biggest part of the range, alongside Derwentwater Designs and Permin pictures.
The full range, including outdoor scenes and landscapes, is in our long stitch kits department.
