Yiotas-xstitch Kit Review

Few days back Yiota, from Yiotas-xstitch contacted me asking if i would be interested to try one of their cross stitch kits and write a review about it.
Being a passionate cross stitcher i was curious to browse thru the site to look out for a cross stitch kit. I must say that it’s a unique place with unique cross stitch patterns. All their patterns  are only with the full cross stitches.
I decided to choose the Birdhouse pattern

When i got the kit yesterday, it was over my expectation.
I was amazed to see the way they have packed it up in a board backed envelop  and the kit was inside a plastic sleeve to avoid the damage while in transit ….

Another unique thing i found about the cross stitch kit from this site is,
they kit up the pattern with pre-wound Madeira thread.
I’m sure every stitcher loves to use Madeira thread.
To sort out the bundle floss and organizing it on the chart with punch holes is always the boring part to start up the kit…
So a kit with pre-wound Madeira thread is something really “WOW”….

…as soon as i opened the kit i arranged the bobbins onto the ring….
i always do it like this when i start a new cross stitch project..
Another unique thing about this kit is their chart and key.
When i recently started a cross stitch kit, i had to take a zoomed copy of the chart…
….the chart from Yiotas is already zoomed and comfortable for your eyes….
A beautiful piece of 14 ct white aida fabric, pre-wound Madeira thread and a zoomed up clear cross stitch chart of a beautiful pattern…
…..what else a passionate cross stitcher looks for…

I immediately started working on the pattern….
because the thread is pre-wound on the bobbin, we can easily wind the leftover thread on it when we work…
I’m totally happy with the cross stitch kit …..
and i’m sure any cross stitcher who read this will love to try out their cross stitch kit with pre-wound thread …..
