Elm Leaf
This lovely design centres on a single elm leaf, rendered in rich, layered greens that capture the natural character of this classic British tree. Flanking the leaf on either side are slender sprigs of foliage, giving the whole composition an elegant, botanical symmetry that feels both timeless and grounded in the natural world.
It is a wonderful choice for anyone who loves nature-inspired needlework, and the finished piece makes a beautiful addition to a wall or a thoughtful handmade gift for someone who appreciates the quieter beauty of the seasons.

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.
