Fire Horse
This Fire Horse pattern brings to life a magnificent rearing horse rendered in rich shades of red and gold, adorned with decorative swirling motifs that give it a wonderfully mythical, Eastern-inspired character. The bold, confident design makes a truly eye-catching piece when framed.
Whether you are drawn to folklore and fantasy or simply love a dramatic animal subject, this pattern is a rewarding stitch. It would make a particularly thoughtful and personal gift for anyone who appreciates Chinese-inspired art or the spirit of the horse.

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.
