Sphinx
Few ancient monuments capture the imagination quite like the Sphinx, and this cross stitch pattern brings that enduring majesty to life in warm golden and sandy tones. The seated figure, with its calm and noble expression, is rendered with a lovely sense of depth and character that makes it a genuinely satisfying piece to work on.
This design is a wonderful choice for anyone drawn to history, ancient civilisations, or the art of world landmarks. Finished and framed, it makes a striking addition to any wall or a thoughtful gift for the history enthusiast in your 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.
