Detailed Instructions
Discover the relaxing craft of embroidery, and escape the everyday hustle and bustle with this complete beginner-friendly kit inspired by the stunning Scottish Highlands, and designed to help you slow down and get creative.
A new craft kit won't solve all your problems... But it will give you a reason to put down your phone, enjoy some well-deserved time for yourself, and create something beautiful with your own hands. There's something wonderfully satisfying about watching your embroidery come to life, stitch by stitch, as you rediscover your creativity, unwind, and feel the stresses of the day melt away.
With a handful of simple embroidery stitches to learn, you'll be amazed at what you can create! Our detailed illustrated guide to embroidery takes you through every step and features instructions for 20 stitches, so even if you've never picked up a needle before, you'll have everything you need to get started.
Please note, this kit contains a sharp needle and is only suitable for ages 14+.

7 Must-Know Embroidery Tips for Beginners
This was a great option for a beginner! I may do another before I venture out on my own to experiment!

Highland Heathers Embroidery Kit
Bought as as a gift, delighted with my purchase
This was my first embroidery kit, I loved it! The booklet describing the different stitches was really easy to follow and taught me stitches I hadn’t tried before and the design was really lovely. i finished it too quickly!!!
I am so pleased to have found Hawthorn Handmade. The Highland Heathers Embroidery Kit is a perfect gift for my friend & I will certainly be choosing one for me to complete .
I have nearly finished this for a friend and am delighted with it.
Got this for our daughter for Christmas gift off her wish list. Seems like it is like picture. The hoop comes with it which I thought was nice so everything you need is in package.
My second kit from Hawthorn and although I've only just started, it's brilliant so far. Everything's included and it's easy to get started.
Beautiful kit. Can't wait to try it out. Delivery was very quick too. Will buy from this seller again. Thank you.

Highland Heathers Embroidery Kit
Such a perfect starter kit! Comes with everything you could ever need including a guide & helpful tips, would definitely recommend :)
I could not put this down!!! As my first time I was a little cautious about how interested I would be and if I would just start and not finish it... But I could not have been more wrong! The instructions were clear, the design has turned out beautifully and definitely kept my mind busy during this lockdown! Absolutely fantastic, and loved every minute! You have every you need in the pack, however, would have been better if a needle threader could be included too... But this is me been very picky, this is a fantastic embroidery kit overall! Would order again. Thank you.
Great fun and clear instructions.
Good communication, arrived promptly and lovely product.
I’ve never done embroidery before, but with the printed fabric and step by step stitch guides, it’s so easy to use!!!
I'm really enjoying doing this. I bought one each for my daughter and I to learn to embroider and we're doing it together on video calls during the COVID lockdown. Instructions are clear and easy to follow, it's well made, everything is provided for the complete beginner, the pattern is easy to follow - once you get the idea that the colour coding for stitch type is not the colour that you actually embroider with. That did cause a moment of confusion. The whole thing arrived very quickly and was beautifully packaged - obviously done by hand and with love and care. I think I've got the bug now and will be back for more in due course.
Beautiful kit, everything provided and clear instructions. Have very much enjoyed getting to grips with embroidery basics!
Really happy with this order! Beautifully presented and would definitely order again!
Really lovely embroidery kit. The instructions are really clear, simple and easy to follow.
Absolutely love this kit, just what I needed to get back into embroidery. Lovely design but still really simple to do, thanks so much!
