Merejka Counted Cross Stitch Kit - Cafe in Verona K-161, Italian Street Scene with Trattoria, Zweigart Aida 16 Ecru, DMC 40 Colors, 11.8 x 15.7 in / 30 x 40 cm

Bring the romance of an Italian afternoon into your home with "Cafe in Verona" (K-161), a counted cross stitch kit by Merejka. This evocative design captures a sun-warmed alley in Verona, where the Trattoria Tre Marchetti welcomes guests with linen-draped tables, blooming bougainvillea cascading over a stone archway, and the soft glow of lanterns along ancient walls. Stitched on premium Zweigart Aida 16-count fabric in ecru — a warm, off-white tone that beautifully evokes aged Mediterranean stone — the finished piece measures 30 x 40 cm (approx. 11.8 x 15.7 inches). The kit contains 40 carefully selected DMC mouliné cotton threads pre-sorted on a thread organizer, a John James gold-plated needle, and a detailed full-color printed pattern chart. INCLUDED: Fantastitch digital pattern app. Every K-161 kit also includes free access to Merejka's interactive Fantastitch app (iOS & Android). Zoom into any section, mark stitched cells in real time, switch between symbol and color views, and stitch comfortably from your phone or tablet — your progress travels with you.
