Griffin
This striking design brings to life one of heraldry's most beloved creatures, the griffin, rendered in warm browns, russet, and gold. With its powerful lion's body and broad, feathered wings raised in proud display, the design captures a real sense of strength and nobility that looks wonderful once framed.
Whether you're drawn to mythology, medieval imagery, or simply love stitching something with real character, this pattern is a deeply satisfying project. It makes a handsome gift for anyone who appreciates fantasy art or the timeless tradition of heraldic design.

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.
