★★★★★ The iconic amphitheatre at Roman sunset
The Colosseum bathed in the warm light of an Italian sunset, with cypress trees, ancient Roman columns and blooming roses in the foreground. An old-fashioned lantern and flowerpots frame the scene — as if you just walk through a cobbled street in Rome and arrive at this 2000-year-old giant. Timeless grandeur in soft gold and pink hues.
Why this cross-stitch kit?
The warm palette of sunset-orange, golden yellow, terracotta and soft pink makes this an atmospheric project with a Mediterranean feel. With 22 yarn colours, there is plenty of room for the arched shapes of the Colosseum and the flowers in the foreground — accessible for beginners thanks to the clear architecture, challenging for advanced stitchers due to the fine details in the stones.
Who is this embroidery kit for?
A beautiful travel gift for anyone who has travelled through Rome or Italy — and a loving birthday gift for history fans, Italy lovers or fans of classical antiquity. Also ideal for those who love Italian interior design, dolce vita and a Mediterranean atmosphere — or as an evening project to dream away to Roman streets and Italian summers.
What's included in this cross-stitch kit?
- Pre-printed 11CT embroidery canvas — symbols and colour numbers are already on the canvas, so no counting needed
- 22 colours of premium eco-cotton thread (Huacan) — stronger and more colourfast than standard thread, less prone to breaking
- Two gold-plated cross-stitch needles in a convenient protective case
- Step-by-step instructions in Dutch, also suitable for beginners
- Printed symbol overview as a reference during embroidery
Which size is right for me?
20×30 cm is a nice weekend project for a study or an Italian-inspired corner. 40×50 cm (the most popular size) looks warm and atmospheric framed above a dining table or in an entrance hall — a daily reminder of la dolce vita. Larger sizes (from 60×80 cm) reveal all the arched shapes and architectural details — a magnificent eye-catcher above a sideboard or in a living room with a classic look.
Please note: the physical kit is supplied in 30×40, 40×50 or 50×70 cm. Other sizes will be delivered as a digital pattern (PDF download).
Prefer just the pattern?
Then choose the digital PDF version (€14.95). You will receive the pattern by email within 24–48 hours — handy if you already have embroidery materials at home or want to create your own colour scheme.
