Hooded Reaper and Robed Skulls

Halloween & HorrorIntermediate16 coloursAbout 6 days of stitching (~8 hrs/day)

Hooded Reaper and Robed Skulls brings a shadowy gathering to your stitching hoop. A tall figure in a black hooded cloak stands at the centre, flanked by a circle of skull-faced companions in deep purple robes. The rich darks and soft violets make a wonderfully moody scene.

It is a lovely choice for anyone who adores gothic and spooky designs, or who wants something a little different for the Halloween season. Stitch it for a mantelpiece, frame it for a hallway wall, or give it to a friend who loves all things dark and fantastical. Take your time and enjoy watching the robes take shape.

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.
