Ship's Wheel
This Ship's Wheel cross stitch pattern captures the classic charm of a traditional wooden helm, rendered in deep, warm browns with satisfying circular symmetry. The spoked wheel design has a timeless, vintage quality that feels both bold and refined once stitched.
It is a wonderful choice for anyone with a love of the sea, sailing, or nautical heritage. Framed on a wall, it makes a striking piece for a home with a coastal or traditional feel, and it would be a thoughtful, personal gift for a sailor or maritime enthusiast.

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.
