★★★★★ The fishing port of Volendam with all its Dutch charm
A row of colourful Zaan houses—green, red, and brown—stands on the quay of a cozy Dutch harbour town. A wooden fishing boat is moored, milk churns and clogs are ready on the quay, and a windmill turns in the background. The typical atmosphere of Volendam, Marken, and the fishing villages along the IJsselmeer.
Why this cross-stitch kit?
The warm wood tones of the houses, the deep blue of the water, and the vibrant pink and orange of the flowers create a rich, layered composition. With 22 yarn colours, you'll beautifully capture every facade, every roof tile, and every boat detail—a fun project for embroiderers who love picturesque harbour views and typical Dutch details.
Who is this embroidery kit for?
A perfect gift for sea and harbour lovers, for anyone who has visited Volendam or Marken, or for people who love traditional Holland. Also wonderful as a gift for family abroad who are homesick, or as a peaceful project for yourself to bring the Dutch fishing tradition to life.
What's 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 yarn (Huacan)—stronger and more colourfast 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 chart as a reference during embroidery
Which size is right for me?
The smallest size (20×30 cm) is a nice weekend project focusing on the boat and quay. 40×50 cm—our most popular—beautifully showcases the entire harbour view including the windmill and fits perfectly in a kitchen, dining room, or holiday home. Larger sizes (from 60×80 cm) show every roof tile and every milk churn in razor-sharp detail—a detailed statement piece for anyone who loves picturesque harbours.
Please note: the physical kit is available in 30×40, 40×50, or 50×70 cm. Other sizes are delivered as a digital pattern (PDF download).
Prefer just the pattern?
Then choose the digital PDF version (€14.95). You'll receive the pattern by email within 24–48 hours—convenient if you already have embroidery materials or want to create your own colour scheme.
