Candlesticks

Vintage & Retro ObjectsBeginner8 colours7 hours of stitching

There is something wonderfully comforting about the soft glow of candlelight, and this pattern captures that feeling beautifully. Featuring three elegant wooden candlesticks of varying heights, each topped with a glowing flame, the design has a classic, antique quality that feels both familiar and refined.

This is a lovely choice for anyone who enjoys stitching vintage-inspired home pieces. The finished work would sit beautifully in a frame on the wall or make a thoughtful, handmade gift for someone who appreciates traditional decoration.

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.
