Perfect for fans of circus-themed needlework, this design suits anyone who enjoys cheerful, colourful projects. It frames beautifully as a piece of wall art and would make a wonderfully thoughtful handmade gift for someone who appreciates a little comedy and colour in their life.

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.
