Love, Safety and Security

Discover the wisdom of the ancestors, one stitch at a time.

This complete cross-stitch kit invites you to connect with a profound cultural heritage through the meditative art of needlework. Each package contains everything you need to create a beautiful, meaningful piece featuring an authentic Adinkra symbol.

Originally designed by kings of the Akan people of Ghana, these symbols are visual proverbs, each carrying centuries of wisdom, values, and philosophical thought. Once reserved for sacred ceremonies and royalty, Adinkra symbols today are celebrated for their timeless beauty and deep meaning, adorning everything from fine cloth to architectural details. By stitching one, you don’t just make art—you engage with a living narrative and keep an ancient language of symbols alive.

What’s Included in Your Custom Kit:

· Aida Cloth: Choose from our curated selection of background colours to make your symbol truly stand out. (Colour will be selected at time of order).
· Thread Floss: We provide a complete palette of high-quality, colourfast threads in the exact shades needed to faithfully reproduce the symbol’s traditional hues and contrasts.
· Cross-Stitch Needle: The perfect blunt-tipped needle for easy stitching on even-weave fabric.
· Easy-to-Follow Pattern: The back of the package features a clear, numbered pattern chart of your chosen Adinkra symbol, making the process accessible for beginners and satisfying for experienced stitchers.
· Cultural Guide: A brief description of your symbol’s name and its traditional meaning (e.g., “Sankofa” – “Go back and fetch it,” representing learning from the past).
