Penshaw Monument
Perched proudly on its hilltop, Penshaw Monument is one of the North East of England's most treasured sights, and this cross stitch pattern captures its grand colonnaded silhouette beautifully. Warm golden stonework rises against a bright sky, with a sweep of green at the base completing the scene.
This design is a lovely choice for anyone who loves British history, classical architecture, or simply a satisfying stitch with a striking result. It would look wonderful framed on a wall or given as a thoughtful gift to someone with a fondness for this remarkable landmark.

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.
