VERANO #2 (Victorian Cross Stitch)

Description

Verano 2 is a bold and graphic six-colour needlepoint kit, drawing inspiration from the clean lines of Modernist design and the vibrant geometry of Mexican and Navajo-style textiles. Designed for Victorian Cross Stitch—a simple, frame-free technique—it offers a richly textured, highly portable stitching experience ideal for both cushions and rugs.

Like its sister design, Verano 2 takes its name from the Spanish word for “summer,” reflecting the brightness and energy of the season. This edition features a striking new palette: calm lilac, soft sky blues, rich yellow-green, and fresh verdant tones combine to create a cool, balanced design that feels both grounded and uplifting.

Printed directly onto high-quality 10hpi Zweigart canvas using eco-friendly water-based inks, the design is clear and easy to follow. Victorian Cross Stitch, the recommended method, uses 25% more yarn than traditional techniques to build a luxuriously thick and dense fabric—ideal for practical use and long-lasting beauty. Whether you stitch a single cushion or join several kits into a unique handmade rug, Verano 2 brings colour, craftsmanship, and modern design to your home.

This kit is also compatible with Basketweave Tent Stitch or your preferred technique, and can be stitched with or without a frame for maximum flexibility.

Finished size: 38 x 38cm (15 x 15 inches)
