Limited Edition
Our Limited Edition kits are true one-offs. Produced in small batches on time-limited runs, there will only ever be a finite amount of these designs in circulation. Much like artist prints, the kits are numbered and come with authenticity certificates. These one-of-a-kind kits are heirlooms of the future. Our current Limited Edition Design, Night Fishing, will be available to order until the 17th November.
The sold out kits show our past Limited Editions. Our next Limited Edition kit, Night Fishing, will be available until the 17th November.
How do the Limited Editions work?
Our most exclusive range
Each year, we release around four Limited Edition kit designs, each available for only a short period. Once the order window closes, that specific design won’t ever be produced again, making this our most exclusive range of kits.
When orders are finalised at the end of the order period, we send the exact count to Amy, our screen-printing specialist, who carefully prints each kit by hand. This small-batch process ensures attention to detail, with each piece individually numbered as part of a limited run. Only the exact number ordered is made, making each kit genuinely unique and crafted specifically for those who chose it during its brief release.
How long are they available?
Each kit is made to order
Each Limited Edition embroidery kit is offered for a brief, one-time window. Once the order cut-off date arrives, the design is permanently closed, and no additional kits will be made. The cut-off window is detailed on each of the kits, and once it has passed they will show as sold-out.
Like a limited series of artist prints, each kit is numbered and unique to its owner. When you receive your kit, you’ll also know exactly how many were created in total, so you know its exclusivity. This limited release means each piece is truly one-of-a-kind and belongs only to those who were part of its initial availability, making it a rare and personal addition to any collection.
What stitching level are these embroidery kits?
Advanced kits to work towards
Our Limited Edition kits are designed with experienced stitchers in mind and are our most advanced projects. These kits feature intricate designs and incorporate more complex stitching techniques, so we don’t recommend them for complete beginners. If you’re newer to embroidery, we suggest starting with our Start Stitching course, which teaches all the foundational stitches you’ll need to build your skills.
For those ready to move into more advanced projects, these kits are a great step forward. While video tutorials are provided to guide you, they assume a level of pre-existing knowledge and focus on helping experienced stitchers bring the designs to life.

What’s included in a limited edition embroidery kit?
Exclusive materials and custom framing options
Each Limited Edition kit is packed with everything you need to bring your embroidery project to life. Inside, you’ll find all the high-quality materials necessary to complete the design, along with an authenticity certificate, making each kit a true collector’s item. We’ve also included a gallery card so you can track and showcase each Limited Edition kit you’ve completed over time.
Additionally, we offer an exclusive framing set available only with Limited Edition kits. This set includes an unpainted frame, paints, varnish, and a step-by-step guide to help you personalize the frame to complement your design. The set also comes with mounting materials to stretch and prepare your embroidery for display, making it easier than ever to create a custom, ready-to-hang artwork.
Why should I take up embroidery?
More than just a hobby
The Fabled Thread was born out of Eppie’s passion for embroidery—a craft she discovered while working in the high-pressure world of finance. Embroidery became her creative escape, offering a balance of artistic expression and mindfulness that transformed her daily life.
From your very first stitch, you can begin creating something truly beautiful. The repetitive nature of embroidery brings a sense of calm and focus, providing relief from stress and promoting a mindful, meditative experience. With endless combinations of colors and textures, each project feels fresh and inspiring, encouraging you to try new techniques and explore your own creativity.
We hope embroidery brings you as much joy and tranquility as it has brought to Eppie, opening up a world where you can unwind, create, and fall in love with this timeless art form.
