Bearded man in black feathered hat and doublet, hand on a wooden barrel, holding a small wooden tankard

Gentleman With Barrel and Tankard

Food & DrinkIntermediate13 coloursAbout 4 days of stitching (~8 hrs/day)

Meet a dapper figure from days gone by: a bearded gentleman in a tall black hat with a jaunty feather, a dark buttoned doublet and a crisp white collar. He rests one hand on a sturdy wooden barrel and holds a little tankard in the other, ready for a toast.

The warm browns of the barrel and tankard sit beautifully against the dark costume, making this a satisfying full-length character to stitch. It will appeal to lovers of history, costume and traditional pub scenes, and it looks lovely framed on the wall or given to a friend who enjoys a good tale and a good drink.

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, Dimensions, Gamma, Luca-S, PNK Kirov, Sullivans and Unitas. Pick your brand when you start the project.
