Atlantic Tuna
Few creatures embody the power and grace of the open ocean quite like the tuna. This design captures that sleek, muscular form mid-swim, rendered in a palette of deep blues, cool silvers and sharp contrasting tones that bring real life to the finished piece.
Whether you are stitching it for your own wall or planning it as a gift for someone who loves the sea, this is a rewarding project that looks wonderful once framed. It suits anyone with a fondness for marine wildlife and a taste for bold, characterful needlework.

CXC and Sullivans skeins carry the DMC number, so use the DMC column for those brands.CXC and Sullivans skeins carry the DMC number, so the codes above cover them too.
These lengths include the thread lost to tails and travelling, so they are what to buy rather than what ends up on the fabric. A spare skein of your main colours is still worth having, because dye lots vary between batches and matching one part way through is the hard part.
HobbyTub also converts to Ariadna, CXC, Dimensions, Gamma, Luca-S, PNK Kirov, Sullivans and Unitas. Pick your brand when you start the project.
