This kit comes with 5 different colors of orange thread (~2 meters each, 10 meters total), a needle book with two size 7 embroidery needles, and the orange citrus sampler. All you need to get started is a 6" hoop (or smaller, if you don't mind moving the piece around) and some backing cloth to improve tension! Backing cloth can be any scrap cloth you have around - old sheets, old t-shirts, muslin, etc.
