Icy Lights Christmas Village Train Counted Cross Stitch Kit by Luca-S BU5111L

Stitch Icy Lights, a counted cross stitch kit by Luca-S Gold Collection — a little steam train loaded with gifts runs past a snow-covered village of lit houses and a church spire, while a wooden footbridge tied with a red bow crosses a dark, unfrozen stream that reflects the glow of the street lamps and dressed Christmas trees.

A little stitcher's folklore: old railway towns say the last train before Christmas always carries more presents than passengers — this one certainly does.

Why this kit: a wide, calm winter landscape with 52 colours that capture blue shadows on the snow and golden window light — a big, satisfying Gold Collection project for experienced stitchers.

Kit includes: 16-count Zweigart Aida in white (100% cotton), Luca-S 100% cotton threads in 52 colours, 2 needles, a partially coloured chart with coloured backstitch lines and instructions. A frame and hoop are not included.

Work one chart page at a time, starting with the village and train, then the bridge and trees, and finish with the water and its reflections.

Finished size: 48×35 cm (18.8×13.8 in). A beautiful holiday centrepiece for the living room or hallway and a lovely gift for train and Christmas lovers.
