Details

Mindfulness is a practice that has many benefits for our overall health. One of the tools associated with mindful behaviour is the practice of manual craft. It engages the body and the mind, creating a relaxing sensation. Our kit "Sunny Sunday" is a beginner friendly design, making it the perfect craft to enjoy while living mindfully!


"Sunny Sunday" designed by Leonor Violeta portraits a fun and colorful flower, with big leaves, and delicate flower petals. This graphic representation features bold colors and contrasts. Stitch it and leave it as it is, frame it, or our personal suggestion, turn it into a case for your glasses or phone with this sunglasses case needlepoint kit!


What is included in the “Complete Needlepoint Kit” option: 

  • Original artwork printed in premium Zweigart Interlock 13 HPI canvas, with edges sewed with cotton bias tape
  • 2 John James tapestry needles
  • Flyer with the color threads mapping so you can start stitching quickly. 
  • DMC Soft Cotton threads with enough quantity to stitch with the continental tent stitch (more information in the FAQ's below; if you need more thread, leave a note at checkout)
  • Needlepoint booklet with instructions on starting needlepoint, tips for selecting needlepoint stitches, and a library of favorite stitches
  • Our bespoke tube packaging, portable and sustainable & perfect for gifting.
  • Featured artwork: “Sunny Sunday”, Leonor Violeta
  • Printed design measures 15x20 cm / 5.9x7.8

When you buy the “Printed canvas only” option, all the above is included except the threads, and just a single needle. It’s the perfect option if you want to create your own color variation, or re-use threads and yarn you might have at home!

Please note that we only include 1 printed Needlepoint booklet per order. If you add a gift note at checkout, then we’ll add one per kit. Any questions let us know.

♥ PLASTIC FREE
It's the little things that matter. We're careful to use only eco-friendly materials, that you can reuse or recycle!

♥ GIFTS
All our kits come beautifully packaged with our bespoke portable tubes or small boxes, making them a perfect gift for you or a friend.

*

In order to be more sustainable, we try to reduce the materials used for packaging:

During Nov & Dec:

All kits and canvases will be shipped into individual tubes/canisters or small boxes, unless you let us know you prefer to receive optimized packaging, to help us preserve the planet!

Rest of the year:

When you buy more than one kit or canvas, we always try to accommodate them in a single packaging tube or small box, and only 1 printed needlepoint booklet is included.

However, if you add a gift message at checkout, or let us know in advance that you are buying for a gift, we make sure to ship all projects into individual packages.

Product FAQs

Yes, absolutely! All kits come with a printed needlepoint booklet, which contains instructions on how to get started. We suggest to visit our "How to Needlepoint" page for videos tutorials and detailed instructions. Check also our Beginners collection, with the best projects for you to get started with Needlepoint!

Most of the needlepoint decorative stitches require less thread than the continental tent stitch.

Some of the few exceptions where you’ll need more thread are: Basketweave Tent stitch, Encroaching Gobelin, French knots.

If the decorative stitch you want to use contains sections that when stitching intersect with more than 1 hole, then most certainly it won’t require more thread than the continental tent stitch (with which you need to stitch every hole).

The larger the stitch is, the less thread will require!

We are more than happy to offer you all the extra threads you will need! Send us an email to hello@unwind.studio.

In the case you already know that you are going to use the basketweave stitch, please let us know in advance and we'll include more thread before shipping your package.

You don't need to use a needlepoint frame, but you can if you want!

This comes down to each stitcher’s personal preference, and you can easily stitch your needlepoint without a frame, if you don't have one. In this blog post we’ll show you the differences between stitching with and without a frame, and the advantages of each technique.

The first process is to apply Blocking to your finished canvas, in case it is distorted. Check our detailed blog post where we explain all the steps for blocking.

Then you need to select which finished product you want to obtain (ideally this needs to be considered before starting the stitching).
