Moth
This moth cross stitch pattern captures the quiet beauty of one of nature's most overlooked creatures, rendered in rich amber, tan and brown tones with delicate wing markings that give the finished piece real depth and character.
It is a lovely choice for anyone drawn to wildlife and natural history, and the compact size makes it wonderfully achievable for stitchers of most experience levels. Framed and hung, it makes a thoughtful and rather striking addition to any home.

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.
