Most companies that sell kits will provide you with the yarn you need to finish the kit, free of charge. You should go to their website (http://www.elzabethbradley.com) and email them about it.

The kit also doesn't contain a color chart which specifies the code for each color. Is there a book of Elizabeth Bradley's that has the Hydrangea in it or is there a color chart available? Where is the best place to buy replacement thread. Thanks! I just got the Elizabeth Bradley Hydrangea kit but there isn’t enough thread to work the entire project.

I purchased TOBY THE PUG in 1992 at Bergdorf Goodman, a very upscale department store in New York City at a discount price of $101.00. I would have worked the kit much sooner but I didn't know how to do needlepoint cross stitch at the time and tried the continental stitch which was a disaster! FAST FORWARD: It is now 2011 and during that time I learned how to do needlepoint cross stitch and started my project on January 17, 2011. The almost finished canvas looks beautiful! I decided on the hunter green background and recently ordered the wool from an E.B. site I found online. Unfortunately, I got laid-off from my job and have used all that free time needlepointing while looking for another position. I am interested in purchasing another kit but I know that is not going to happen. The kits are way out of my price range. The only problem I have is whether to frame Toby or have it made into a very elaborate pillow. :-) I am a week away from finishing an Elizabeth Bradley needlepoint kit.

Thanks for the article. I never would have thought of painting the background. This has always been on my list for “someday.” Thanks for the article.
