Pretty Twisted Cross Stitch subscription review
You know I love to embroider. So I was pleased to be asked to do a Pretty Twisted Cross Stitch subscription review. Read on to see what’s inside and find out my thoughts.
What is the Pretty Twisted Cross Stitch Subscription Box?
The Pretty Twisted cross stitch subscription box is a bi-monthly complete cross stitch kit with added crafty extras. You can choose from either the ‘pretty’ or the ‘twisted’ versions.
A perfect diy craft subscription for yourself or someone who would enjoy receiving a diy craft box.

- A needle minder
- A needle threader
- Baking fabric for the completed project
- Biscuits
- A face mask
- A salted caramel hot chocolate spoon
- Two crystal mushrooms
- A mushroom bookmark
- Mushroom gift wrap
The Pros & Cons of The Pretty Twisted Cross Stitch Subscription Box
The beauty of a subscription box is it can be a great way of getting into a new craft or gifting it to someone you know who would love to start embroidery.
It has everything you need to complete the project, so there is no need to go and buy extra materials.
The only downside for me was the size of the printed chart, which I found a little small and needed my reading glasses to use. Perhaps offering a digital version via a link as well, could get round this. As I know many people prefer to use patterns on their tablet and organise them with pattern keeper etc.
In-Depth Look at the Materials Included in the box
I loved the quality of the materials used. I was pleased to see it was DMC thread and they are always my go to choice, and I liked the use of the printed sparkly aida. I’d never pick it normally so its fun to use something different.
Aside from the stitching materials the bonus ‘extras’ were fun and made getting the box an extra special treat.
Final Thoughts on the Subscription Box
I enjoyed getting the box as it was different to my normal projects and fun to see the extra treats included. Priced at £35.00 it’s a little on the high side but if you’re only getting them every two months I don’t think it’s overly expensive.
I think I’d opt to get these for a gift for a fellow stitching friend.
