Scottish Piper
Few sights stir the soul quite like a Scottish piper in full dress, and this delightful design captures that proud tradition beautifully. Rendered in rich reds and deep blacks, the kilted figure stands tall with bagpipes raised, bringing warmth and character to every stitch.
Whether you have a fondness for Scottish heritage, a love of traditional music, or simply enjoy stitching figures full of personality, this pattern is a genuinely rewarding project that would look wonderful framed or gifted to someone special.

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.
