★★★★★ A serene gondola glides through a Venetian side canal
A serene Venetian side canal: tall ochre and terracotta palazzi with green shutters, a stone arch bridge over the water, bougainvillea climbing a balcony, and a black gondola patiently waiting at the mooring post. In the distance, a church dome appears — Venice as you imagine it.
Why this cross-stitch kit?
The warm ochre and terracotta tones of the facades, the pink bougainvillea, and the calm blue-grey of the water combine to form a romantic, balanced color palette. With 22 yarn colors, you can meticulously craft the details of the reflections, balustrades, and the gondola — a refined project for those who appreciate precision.
Who is this embroidery kit for?
A wonderful gift for Italy lovers, aspiring gondoliers, and anyone who has ever taken a gondola ride. Popular as a wedding gift or anniversary gift for couples with a Venetian memory. Also a beautiful project for yourself to work on slowly — as calming as the still water in the image.
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 needed
- 22 colors of premium eco-cotton yarn (Huacan) — stronger and more colorfast than standard yarn, less prone to breakage
- Two gold-plated cross-stitch needles in a convenient protective case
- Step-by-step instructions in Dutch, also suitable for beginners
- Printed symbol chart for reference during embroidery
Which size is right for me?
20×30 cm is a lovely Venetian souvenir or a small framed gift for a dresser. 40×50 cm (our most popular size) beautifully showcases the canal, gondola, and reflections, fitting well above a dining table or in the bedroom. From 60×80 cm, it gains the presence of a painting — an eye-catcher above the sofa.
Please note: the physical kit comes in 30×40, 40×50, or 50×70 cm. Other sizes are provided as a digital pattern (PDF download).
Prefer just the pattern?
Then opt for the digital PDF version (€14.95). You'll receive the pattern by email within 24–48 hours — handy if you already have embroidery supplies or want to create your own color scheme.
