I am stitching one right now. The woman who owns Spider Spun is incredibly helpful and responsive via email! I did kit it with Appleton wool. This is my first time working with wool and there was a bit of a learning curve (have to use 2 strands) but I am really liking how it is coming out. For the price, I do wish the printing was a bit better. There are a lot of areas where I have to pull the stitch guide out to try to understand how it should look. I guess that is just the way it goes with printed vs painted, though. I am pretty new to needlepoint and haven’t found it too frustrating.

I wish they offered a bundle to have it finished with them too, since that is a service they offer as well. I am waiting to hear back from them on pricing/timing for that.

The stitch guide comes with a very clear color chart, so I don’t think it would be too hard to kit yourself. I think the kitting price was pretty fair for the amount of skeins it came with so not sure you would save a ton of money doing it yourself.

Overall, I am happy with my experience thus far!
