Before a Pokémon journey can begin, it's important to choose a partner! Which Paldean starter will you choose?
Capture the joy of a new Pokémon adventure with this large cross-stitch featuring the Paldean Starters. Based on the painting that originally revealed Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly to the world, this beautiful cross-stitch features hand painted watercolor backgrounds and 37 colors of thread. Each of the three Pokémon comes in at 12 inches tall (or about 30.5 cm) while the fully framed project clocks in at a whopping 18.5 inches tall and 38.5 inches long (47cm by 98cm). The almost 20,000 stitches took nearly 185 working hours to complete over the last two years. They have been carefully framed in gold, like their inspiration, with museum glass to protect them. If the museum glass needs cleaning, use an ammonia-free cleaner applied to a microfiber cloth and wipe gently.
