The Goldfish by Henri Matisse Advanced Cross Stitch Kit Review

September 12, 2026 by Shellie Wilson Leave a Comment

The Goldfish by Henri Matisse Advanced Cross Stitch Kit transforms one of Matisse’s most colourful paintings into an impressive needlework project.

The original 1912 artwork is known for its vibrant colours and unusual composition, both of which translate beautifully into cross stitch. This is not a quick weekend project, but rather something to enjoy slowly as the famous image gradually appears beneath your needle.

Designed for advanced stitchers, the kit includes 114 metres of DMC Mouliné Spécial thread, 14-count white Aida fabric, a needle and instructions in several languages. The finished piece measures approximately 23 x 35.6 cm, giving it plenty of impact once framed.

I love the idea of recreating a famous artwork in thread. It combines the relaxation of cross stitch with the satisfaction of producing something that looks worthy of displaying on the wall.

This would make a wonderful project for an experienced cross stitcher, an art lover or anyone looking for a creative challenge with a truly striking result.

The kit was showing as out of stock when I checked, but you can request a restock notification through the product page.
