★★★★★ Floating above the mountains — an ode to wanderlust and freedom
Six colorful hot air balloons float serenely through a golden morning sky above a vast mountain valley. A backpack and signpost wait patiently on the path, a river winds through the valley, and a small mountain village glimmers in the distance — a scene reminiscent of Cappadocia, the Alps, or that one road trip you've always wanted to take.
Why this cross-stitch kit?
The striped balloons in rainbow hues give this design a cheerful, optimistic atmosphere that beautifully contrasts with the soft gray mountains and pastel shades of the morning sky. With 22 yarn colors, you'll get many playful details — an ideal project for embroiderers from beginners to advanced, thanks to the clearly pre-printed canvas.
Who is this embroidery kit for?
A beloved gift for travelers, mountain lovers, and adventurers — perfect for those who love hiking, bucket-list destinations, or the symbolism of breaking free and flying. Ideal as a farewell gift for someone going on a world trip, or as a birthday gift for the dreamer who never stands still.
What's included in this cross-stitch kit?
- Pre-printed 11CT embroidery canvas — symbols and color numbers are already on the canvas, so no counting is needed
- 22 colors of premium eco-cotton yarn (Huacan) — stronger and more colorfast than standard yarn, less prone to breaking
- Two gold-plated cross-stitch needles in a handy protective case
- Step-by-step instructions in Dutch, also suitable for beginners
- Printed symbol overview for reference during embroidery
Which size is right for me?
Our smallest size (20×30 cm) is a cheerful project for a child's room or a teenager's bedroom. 40×50 cm (our most popular size) looks beautiful in an office or a living room with wanderlust decor — think globe, vintage maps, or photos of mountain peaks. Larger sizes (from 60×80 cm) are true statement pieces that immediately ignite wanderlust.
Please note: the physical kit is supplied in 30×40, 40×50, or 50×70 cm. Other sizes are provided as a digital pattern (PDF download) — convenient if you already have canvas, yarn, and needles at home.
Prefer only the pattern?
Then choose the digital PDF version (€14.95). You will receive the pattern by email within 24–48 hours — useful if you already have embroidery materials at home or want to create your own color scheme.
