Santorini Stars Cross Stitch Kit by Avlea Folk Embroidery stitched with Appleton's Crewel Wool.
The Santorini Stars cross stitch folk embroidery kit is something a little different in the Avlea collection as it is the only design stitched with Appleton's crewel wools rather than DMC floss. The wools give this striking geometric border from the Greek islands a soft, vintage quality with blues and greens evoking the sea accented with deep golden olive. Sawtooth diagonal lines create diamonds set with stylized stars, and the interior space features a delicate trellis fill that adds a wonderful depth to the finished piece. If you're curious about cross stitch with crewel wool, this is a beautiful project to explore this lovely, textured stitching!
