Sleeping Cats
There is something wonderfully soothing about this design, which captures two cats nestled together in peaceful slumber. One is a warm ginger tabby and the other a soft grey tabby, their bodies curled close as though keeping each other company on a quiet afternoon.
This pattern is a lovely choice for anyone who adores cats or wants to stitch a heartfelt gift. Finished and framed, it would bring a gentle, cosy charm to any room in the home.

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.
