Purple Gargoyle Face
This design brings the brooding grandeur of gothic stonework into your needlework with a dramatic gargoyle face rendered in cool grey-greens and shadowy purples. The horned, heavy-browed visage has real presence, and the careful shading gives it a wonderfully sculptural quality.
It is a brilliant choice for anyone drawn to fantasy art, medieval architecture, or the darker corners of mythology. Framed on a wall, it makes a bold and characterful statement that is sure to draw admiring glances from visitors.

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.
