The Trimits Hedgehog Tapestry Kit is an ideal starting point for beginners looking to explore the craft of needlework through an accessible and adorable design. By utilizing the half stitch technique, the kit allows for a quicker completion time compared to traditional cross-stitch without sacrificing decorative detail. While the pre-printed canvas significantly lowers the learning curve, crafters should note that the project requires a steady hand and patience to achieve professional-looking results on the six-count canvas.

This kit contains a sharp metal needle and is recommended for older children or beginners under adult supervision.
Yes, the frame is not included. The finished design is 16.9 x 16.9cm, so you can purchase a standard frame that fits these dimensions.
Half stitch is a needlepoint technique where the needle passes diagonally across the canvas, creating a slanted stitch. It is faster and uses less yarn than full cross-stitch.
It is not recommended to wash the finished tapestry, as moisture may cause the canvas to shrink or warp.
Yes, the kit includes clear, printed colour-coded instructions to guide you through the process.
Ensure you are using the correct number of strands as indicated in the instructions and avoid leaving long tails on the back of the work.
Check your tension consistency and consider using an embroidery hoop to keep the fabric flat and stable while stitching.
To begin, ensure you have a clean workspace with good lighting. While all essential materials are included, you may wish to use a pair of fabric scissors for trimming yarn and an optional embroidery hoop for better tension control.

Care Instructions:
Once finished, gently steam the back of the tapestry to smooth out any creases. Avoid submerging the finished piece in water, as this may distort the canvas or affect the color vibrancy of the acrylic yarns. If displaying, place it behind glass or in a dry, dust-free environment to preserve the longevity of the fibers.
