Taj Mahal

Whether you are drawn to architecture, history, or simply love stitching pieces with a sense of place, this design makes a wonderful project. It would also make a very thoughtful gift for anyone with a love of India or a passion for the world's great landmarks.

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.
