Canal Boat
This delightful design captures the peaceful charm of a classic British waterway, where a brightly coloured canal boat glides along a tree-lined canal beneath a warm sky. A grand building rises in the background, its architecture framed beautifully by the lush foliage on either side.
Perfect for anyone who loves the gentle rhythm of canal life, this pattern would make a wonderful addition to a living room wall or a thoughtful handmade gift for a friend who adores the British countryside and its waterways.

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, Gamma, Luca-S and Sullivans. Pick your brand when you start the project.
