Designer: Jim Shore
Manufacturer: Mill Hill
Size: 3" x 3.5"
Item: JS20-2314
Type: Cross Stitch Kits

Mill Hill Christmas ornament designed by Jim Shore featuring a woodland gnome with an acorn hat. The kit includes 14 Ct. Amazing Gray perforated paper, beads, needles, floss, chart and instructions. Finished size: 3" x 3.5"

While we still have kits in stock with Perforated Paper, newer Mill Hill kits are now being made with Perforated PVC. We were skeptical at first, but here's what our testing has revealed so far:

1. Perforated PVC looks and feels nearly identical to perforated paper, and nothing like plastic canvas. It's sturdy and easy to hold, and is slightly harder to bend.

2. Our needle and thread glide just as smoothly through the new PVC as they do through paper, and finished stitches on both materials look nearly identical.

3. The new PVC is some sturdy stuff. It's much harder to tear than the paper, so you can pull your threads as tight as you want without having to worry about deforming holes or ripping. We also expect the PVC to be more resistant to decay and yellowing.

All in all, while (like many in the community) we were originally hesitant about this change, our first impressions have been very positive.

I bought the gnome kits to make as gifts, and to learn about beading. I think they're terrific fun and look lovely. Some other reviews thought the fine color shades were unnecessarily difficult, but I love the fine shading. It gives the depth to these ornaments so that they are art, not toys. When I finished this gnome I bought three more!

I am only partway through this project but it is a lot of fun to stitch, and all the materials are attractive and pleasant to use. Thanks!

I find that Mill Hill is very consistent in the products & their directions.

Love this pattern! Awesome, but not easy to do

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 10/04/2023 - Cute but too much detail
Although this little acorn guy is so cute when done, I think there is way too much detail for something so small. Five shades of green floss and 2 shades of beads in an area barely 1x1 inch. And all the outlining. Again lost on such a tiny area. I have done hundreds of Mill Hill kits over about 30 years. This one is cute but too much work. All that shading will not be visible on a tree.

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 10/02/2023 - Enjoyable but with some difficulty
The beads are cute but difficult. First I separated them by color and size, I had tiny ziplock bags to put them in. Secondly I have to do this on a table with a grided placemat to catch beads that get dropped. Thirdly the needle is very narrow and the eye is small to let the bead slide over, making it difficult to thread. Overall I love the look and I will hang them at Christmas but it is not easy to do.
