Needlepoint/converting long stitch kit to continental stitch

Question
Hello, I have a needlepoint kit that calls for the long stitch and I want to do it in the continental stitch.  Will I have enough yarn?  Thanks

Answer
hi Joann,
the continental stitch is a closer type of stitch. the possibility exists that you will have to purchase more yarn.

my experience with kits is that there is usually yarn left over, so maybe there will be enough.

usually the maker of the kit carries the yarn so you can get more if needed.
