Heraldic Shield
This striking design brings the drama of medieval heraldry to your stitching frame, centred on a fierce horned demon bull set against a bold red shield edged with dark, aged detail. The contrast of deep crimson and shadowy tones gives the finished piece a powerful, atmospheric quality that feels both ancient and fantastical.
It is a wonderful choice for anyone drawn to fantasy art, historical symbolism, or gothic decoration. Framed and hung, it makes a genuinely memorable piece for a study, games room, or as a gift for the history and fantasy lover in your life.

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.
