Sheep

The soft palette keeps things naturalistic and inviting, making it a pleasure to stitch from start to finish.
Whether you love countryside scenes, are building a collection of farm animal pieces, or are looking for a gift that feels personal and handmade, this pattern is a wonderful choice. It would look lovely framed on a wall or gifted to someone who treasures rural life.

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.
