Folk Fabric Sampler White Bookmarks Cross Stitch Kit by Avlea Folk Embroidery.
The Folk Fabric Sampler cross stitch folk embroidery kit is one of my favorite ways to introduce new stitchers to the world of folk embroidery fabrics. Stitch a trio of beautiful bookmarks, each on a different classic white folk fabric, so you can feel the difference between them firsthand and discover which one you love most (or maybe all three!). Three traditional borders--a braid, a Latvian border, and a laurel leaf--are stitched in a crisp palette of blue, green, and gold for a set of bookmarks to enjoy with your next read or to gift!
The three fabrics included are the most popular of all of my folk fabrics: 26ct Traditional Groundcloth white, 26ct Mikini white, and 30ct Mikini white. Each has its own distinctive hand and texture, and stitching all three side by side is the best way to understand what makes each one special.
