Golden Barley Ears
Golden Barley Ears shows a bunch of ripe barley standing tall, the plump heads fanning outwards with fine, bristly awns in glowing shades of amber and honey. The slender brown stems gather together at the base, giving the design a lovely, graceful shape against plain fabric.
It is a charming choice for anyone who loves the countryside, the harvest season or botanical stitching with a rustic feel. The warm tones suit a kitchen, hallway or cosy reading corner once framed, and it would make a thoughtful gift for a keen gardener, a farmer or a friend who adores autumn. Stitchers of all kinds will enjoy watching the textured grain heads take shape.

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