Helicopter
This striking design captures a red and navy helicopter mid-flight, its rotors spinning and body rendered in confident, clean colours that really pop once framed. It is the sort of piece that draws the eye and sparks conversation, whether displayed in a living room, a child's bedroom, or a home office.
Ideal for anyone with a love of aviation or transport, this pattern suits stitchers who enjoy a focused project with a satisfying, graphic result. It also makes a thoughtful and personal gift for a pilot, an enthusiast, or anyone who simply looks up whenever a helicopter passes overhead.

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.
