This is my wife's favourite opera and so when I saw this kit, I had to get it. I'm so glad I did, this is a wonderful kit: The pattern is clear and easy to read, the fabric and threads are excellent quality and the extras are a really welcome and thoughtful bonus - 4 needles, a needle threader, a bobbin of metallic thread for highlighting and a full and comprehensive set of paperwork all in a very useful sealable pouch.
The delivery was astoundingly fast and I was kept fully informed on progress.
As I say, this is my wife's favourite opera - personally I much prefer stitching it to listening to it 😉
