Some kits are sorted, some aren't. I have recently done 2 Vervaco kits and 1 Heritage and these were all sorted onto punched cards. Vervaco didn't give the dmc number, Heritage did.

This one is lumped into 3 bundles (each with a colored piece of yarn), the cardboard card list that comes in the kit gives a break down of all the different threads and how many lengths there are and it is sorted by yarn bundle.

The Jester! Of course. Silly me. (Not my business of course, but sorry to hear you are no longer friendly with the person you were stitching that for. Bummer.)

Anyhow, like the Dragonflies.

Great start -- it's a lovely effect with the "outlining" in gold.
