Designer: Mill Hill
Manufacturer: Mill Hill
Item: MH18-4302
Type: Cross Stitch Kits

Kit Includes: Beads, treasures, 14ct perforated paper/pvc, floss, specialty threads, needles, chart, magnet and instructions. Size: 2.5" x 2.5".

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.

5 stars out of 5 from Canada Tiny Canada flag on 01/27/2026 - Great kit, but istake in the bead list instructions
Very cute and easy kit to do. However, there is a mistake in it. The royal blue beads are petite, but in the chart it's recorded as a regular size beads stitched with half cross stitch. If you look on the preview, you will notice that this royal blue beads are indeed petite.

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 11/07/2025 - So fun to make
Small. Quick to finish and so cute. Mill Hill kits are the best

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 10/25/2025 - So fun and cute!
An exceptionally fun kit to stitch! I flipped the perforated paper to the white side, changed the box to teal to fit in with my niece's Christmas decor, and the kitten to brown to match hers, using floss and beads I already had on hand (okay I might have had to place a 123Stitch order for brown beads for the kitten), and it turned out soooooo adorable! I would definitely do this kit again.
