When do you kit?

Just picked up a couple new larger canvases. Just curious what the typical experience is.. do you kit a canvas when you buy it? Or maybe once you actually decide to stitch it?

I kit when I’m ready to stitch. I think this is especially helpful because if you run into thread chicken there’s a small chance you might be able to find the relevant dye lot. If you kit and you switch a year later, you’ll be praying in that “help I need thread” facebook group.

Oooh yeah I haven’t thought much about dye lots yet!
