About our beaded kits
Beaded cross stitch kits add a third dimension to the hobby. Alongside the usual threads, these designs incorporate glass seed beads - attached with a simple half cross stitch - so parts of the finished piece sparkle and catch the light in a way flat thread never quite manages. The effect is gorgeous on Christmas designs, florals, birds and celestial pieces, where beads become berries, dewdrops, stars and eyes. Working with beads is easier than it looks: you use the same motion as a normal stitch with a finer needle, and each kit includes the beading needle, sorted beads, threads, fabric and a chart that marks bead placements clearly. A little tray or mat to stop beads wandering is the only extra worth having. Beaded kits suit stitchers with a project or two behind them. Free UK delivery on orders over £20, 48-hour dispatch, and our 100% money-back guarantee throughout.
Beaded Kits - FAQs
Is beading hard to learn?
No - you attach each bead with a simple half cross stitch using the finer needle included. Most stitchers are comfortable within their first ten beads.
Are the beads and special needle included?
Yes - every beaded kit includes sorted beads, a beading needle, threads, fabric and a chart marking exactly where beads go.
How do I wash a beaded piece?
Gently, cold, by hand - and press it face down on a towel so the beads sink in rather than crush. Our finishing guide covers it.
