Pyramids Of Giza

World LandmarksBeginner9 colours19 hours of stitching

Few sights in the world carry the quiet grandeur of the Pyramids of Giza, and this cross stitch pattern captures that ancient majesty beautifully. Set against a deep sky, the three pyramids rise from the desert in rich amber, terracotta and gold, with the warm palette giving the finished piece a timeless, glowing quality.

This design is a lovely choice for anyone drawn to history, travel or the wonders of the ancient world. It stitches up into a striking piece that looks wonderful framed on a wall or wrapped up as a thoughtful gift for an Egypt enthusiast.

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.
