Find the right project for you and start your craft-filled journey.

If you’re picking up a craft for the very first time, welcome! Stitch & Story are here to help make crafting simple, and build your confidence stitch by stitch. We’ve picked out some of our favourite cross stitch, knitting, and crochet kits to help get you started.

Cross Stitch for Beginners

Once you get started, you’ll find cross stitch is easy to pick up, and too enjoyable to put down!

What skills will I learn?

In every kit you’ll find a handy cross stitch guide that will show you how to set up your hoop and fabric, and how to sew the different stitches you’ll need to bring your chosen design to life.
