A note about fibers...for any thread that lists a usage of .9 (skeins or cards) or more, we've added an additional skein/card of fiber to the kit. The thread usage listed on the materials list is for the number of stitches only. It does not allow for personal stitching styles, stopping and starting, waste, etc., so we believe that the additional skein will be needed. As always, if you need any modifications to your kit, email to let us know.

4 skeins Northern Lights Silk
28 skeins Needlepoint Inc Silk (NPI)
13 skeins TG Silk N'Color
