    What Our Stitchers Are Saying

    Christmas robin needlepoint ornament kit

    The stitch guide suggested a couple of stitches I hadn’t done before but the diagram if the stitches was very helpful. This will make a beautiful ornament.

    I loved this pattern! I will say the darker tan was a bit hard to follow since it's on printed canvas, but you can easily make it work. Just ordered another from Poppy Monk!

    The stitches are fun to learn. The stitch guide is easy to follow. The colors are pretty. The picture shows a work in progress.

    FAQs

    What Kit should i start with?

    If you’re new to needlepoint, we recommend starting with a kit that matches your confidence level and the amount of detail you feel comfortable with.

    Simpler designs with larger colour areas are usually easier to begin with, while more detailed kits are better if you’re ready for a longer project.

    Not sure where to start? Take our quick quiz and we’ll help match you with the right kit for your style and skill level.
    What is the difference between Beginner and Absolute Beginner kits?

    Absolute Beginner kits are the easiest place to start. They are designed for anyone who has never stitched before and wants a very simple, guided introduction.

    Beginner kits are still accessible but include slightly more detail and require a bit more focus and confidence.
    Which should I choose if I’ve never done needlepoint before?

    If you’re completely new, we recommend starting with Absolute Beginners. It’s designed to help you build confidence quickly and enjoy the process straight away.
    When should I choose a Beginner kit instead?

    Choose a Beginner kit if you:

    • Feel comfortable trying something slightly more detailed
    • Want a longer, more immersive project
    • Have done crafts before and enjoy a bit of a challenge
    Will Beginner kits feel too hard?

    No, but they may take a little more time and patience. If you want the easiest possible start, go Absolute Beginners. If you’re happy to take your time, Beginner kits are still very achievable.
    Can I move from Super Beginner to Beginner easily?

    Yes. Many people start with a Absolute Beginner kit and move straight into Beginner after their first project.
    Do your kits come with needles?

    Yes, every Poppy Monk needlepoint kit comes with 2 stainless steel Bohin needles.
    Do I need to buy stretcher bars?

    No, but a lot of people prefer to stitch on a frame. However, it is a personal preference. Read this short blog post to help you decide.
