Fancy an ABC - Cross Stitch Pattern by Modern Folk Embroidery Kits Old Crow (CCW Black Coffee)Fancy an ABC takes its inspiration from folkloristic book prints and so called hornbooks, alphabet planks used since the late middle ages to aid children in learning their ABCs. If you were to work it on 32 count linen with 2 pulled strands over 2, you would require a minimum of 40 skeins of DMC or similar 8 metre floss of either colour. Many beautiful hand dyed flosses come in 8 yard lengths, which means you will need approximately 45 of those.
