Black Tugboat on Rippling Water
This sturdy tugboat sits proudly on the water, with a dark hull, a crisp white wheelhouse and a small red flag fluttering at the stern. Soft blue ripples around the hull give it a calm, settled look, while the tall mast and funnel add lovely character to the silhouette.
It would suit anyone who loves harbour life, boats and traditional maritime scenes. Framed, it makes a handsome addition to a hallway, study or seaside-themed room, and it could be a thoughtful gift for a sailor, a boating fan or someone with fond memories of the coast.

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.
