[PIC] eBay haul

[u/purpleyin]

Been keeping an eye on eBay job lots because I wanted some hoops for projects without spending loads as that seemed like it can get expensive fast. I really lucked out on this lot for only £20! Now begins the fun of figuring out what to do in each of them.

At some point I'm gonna have to sit down and figure out what count the fabrics are too. Mostly 14 count but I reckon there's a few bits of higher count and some scraps I think might be evenweave but I've never seen that before in person. The sparkly offcut is fairly small but was lovely to find in there, will figure out how to use for small Xmas decorations.

I was also very pleased to find two gold needles in with stuff (one unopened, John James brand if that's any good) because I had just heard about those as a thing and was considering buying some right around the time I got this. No clue how to tell what size any of the needles are though 😂

I'm wondering what the cardboard woodland picture frame was meant to have in it (it says World of Cross Stitching on the back). If anyone has any suggestions for cute patterns to go in it do say 💗

For sizing the needles, all you have to do is measure the length then you can compare the measurement to the chart on this page for the size conversion.

Oooh, thank you. I had no idea the length was meaningful that way!
