{"product_id":"christmas-in-july-bundle","title":"CHRISTMAS BAUBLES KIT","description":"\u003cp\u003eDecorating the tree has always been one of my favourite Christmas moments - pulling out ornaments that remind me of long-ago holidays, and of cherished family members and friends. I hope this little piece brings you some Christmas cheer and happy memories too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis design has a stitch count of 95w x 43h and uses full crosses over two, some backstitches and a few Smyrna Crosses. In my model, I used two strands of floss over two threads of linen for the cross-stitches \u0026amp; one strand for the backstitching \u0026amp; Smyrnas.

A: It's a lovely next step. The bulk of the design is full crosses over two, which you'll already feel at home with. The Smyrna crosses take five minutes to learn from a quick tutorial and add the most satisfying little bursts of texture to the baubles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]\"\u003eQ: What's actually included, and what will I need from home? A: Inside the kit you'll find the Mojo Stitches chart, our exclusive sage green cross stitch fabric, and four 10-metre lengths of Cottage Garden Threads hand-dyed floss (Yule, Leatherbound, Clothbound and Page Turner). You'll want to supply a tapestry needle, small embroidery scissors, and a hoop or frame if you like to work with one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]\"\u003eQ: I'm not in Australia. Can I still order? A: Absolutely. We post worldwide from our studio in Australia, and we have stitchers in New Zealand, the UK and the US working away on our kits right now. Postage is calculated at checkout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]\"\u003eQ: Is it gift-ready for another stitcher? A: It makes a beautiful gift for a fellow maker. Each kit is packaged neatly for posting, and if you pop a note in the order comments at checkout, we'll tuck a handwritten card in alongside the threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]\"\u003eQ: Where do these colours come from? Can I get them anywhere else? A: The JK threads and our sage green fabric are hand-dyed in small batches in our studio – original colourways that are sold only through Cottage Garden Threads stockists. Each dye lot carries gentle variations from the last, which is part of the quiet charm of working with hand-dyed thread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eA quiet pleasure to make, and a small piece of Christmas to bring out year after year.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mojo Stitches","offers":[{"title":"AIDA","offer_id":53241138512169,"sku":"JULY2026.BAUBLES.AIDA","price":68.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"LINEN","offer_id":53241138544937,"sku":"JULY2026.BAUBLES.LINEN","price":72.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7380\/0489\/files\/9fa4c789-ae62-4a76-b2db-8c25d8332901.jpg?v=1737497430","url":"https:\/\/www.cottagegardenthreads.com.au\/products\/christmas-in-july-bundle","provider":"Cottage Garden Threads","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
