Polar Bear and Cub
This polar bear and cub design shows a large adult bear walking calmly, with a smaller cub trotting close at her side. Soft creamy whites and gentle grey-blue shading give the fur its thick, cosy look, while the dark nose and eyes add just enough definition to bring both faces to life.
It would suit anyone who loves wildlife, winter scenes or sweet family portraits from the natural world. Stitchers who enjoy a calm, rewarding project will find plenty to like here. Once finished, it looks lovely framed for a wall, and it makes a thoughtful gift for a nature lover or a new parent.

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.
