Highland cow cross stitch kits - the shaggy, fringe-first favourite of British craft. Utterly charming on any wall.
About our highland cows
Highland cow cross stitch kits have quietly become one of the most requested designs in the hobby, and one look explains why: all that shaggy texture and that magnificent fringe were practically invented for thread. This collection ranges from simple, cheerful coo motifs a confident beginner can take on, to richly layered portraits where long stitches and blended browns build a coat you can almost feel. Finished pieces suit farmhouse kitchens, hallways and living rooms - anywhere that could use a bit of Highland charm - and they make a superb gift for anyone who has ever come home from Scotland with a camera full of cows. Each kit contains everything needed: fabric, pre-sorted threads, needle and a clear chart, with the finished size listed on every product page. Free UK delivery on orders over £20, dispatch within 48 hours, and a full money-back guarantee.
Highland Cows - FAQs
Are highland cow kits difficult?
The simple motif styles are fine for improving beginners. Portrait-style coos with heavy shading are a mid-level project - slower, but deeply satisfying.
What is the appeal of stitching a highland cow?
Texture. The fringe and coat give you long, flowing colour changes that are genuinely fun to stitch and look far harder than they are.
What size are the finished pieces?
Motif designs finish around 12-15cm; portrait pieces run 20-30cm. Every product page lists exact finished dimensions.
