{"product_id":"crab-beginner-cross-stitch-kit","title":"Crab Beginner Cross Stitch Kit","description":"Crab Cross Stitch Kit – 4 Inch Mini Kit\n\nBold, graphic, and full of coastal charm — this counted cross stitch kit features a striking crab design in warm orange tones on pale yellow Aida fabric. The inherently pixelated nature of cross stitch gives the design a beautifully stylised, graphic quality that feels modern and design-led rather than folksy or traditional. Coastal without being clichéd.\n\nPart of Cotton Clara's bestselling mini hoop collection, each kit is completely self-contained. The 4\" bamboo hoop, pale yellow Aida fabric, embroidery threads, needle, wadding, backing disc, full-colour chart, and step-by-step instructions are all included. No printing on the fabric, customers follow the chart to stitch the design stitch by stitch, making it accessible for complete beginners while still feeling like a genuinely skilful and satisfying thing to make.\n\nThe finished hoop hangs straight away with no additional framing needed. The backing disc creates a clean, professional finish without glue ,a detail customers consistently comment on and appreciate.\n\nWhy it sells:\n\nCoastal and nautical themes are a perennial strong performer in gift and homewares retail, and this kit earns its place in that edit by feeling fresh rather than familiar. The bold, graphic aesthetic — a natural result of the cross stitch medium itself, gives it a contemporary edge that sets it apart from more traditional seaside gifts. The warm orange and pale yellow colourway is optimistic and summery without being garish, and the finished hoop works as well in a modern home as it does in a beach house.\n\nIt's a strong seasonal pick from spring through summer, but the graphic, design-led quality means it holds its own year-round. Packaged in Cotton Clara's signature striped box, plastic-free and fully recyclable, with a retail-ready finish that needs no additional merchandising.\nDetails:\n\nFinished hoop size: 4 inches (11cm)\nSuitable for complete beginners and beyond\nPlastic-free, fully recyclable packaging\nDesigned and made in the UK\n\n\nA natural fit for coastal, gift, lifestyle, and homewares buyers. Works beautifully as part of a curated Cotton Clara mini kit display alongside other nature and food-inspired designs in the range.\n","brand":"Cotton Clara Craft Kits \u0026 Supplies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44608731152519,"sku":"CC-CSK-099-LMN","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/2890\/1511\/files\/48c2585ca01a837c9e0da153f3f4ba2ec9bd8e308c5530ab7849563dc7cf5c37.jpg?v=1778955638","url":"https:\/\/hereandnowcrafts.com\/products\/crab-beginner-cross-stitch-kit","provider":"Here And Now Crafts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
