The Acropolis
Perched atop a rocky outcrop and bathed in warm golden light, The Acropolis is one of the most recognisable and celebrated structures the ancient world has ever produced. This charming pattern captures the temple's elegant columns and classical façade rising proudly above its rugged stone foundations.
Whether you are drawn to history, travel, or simply beautiful architecture, this design makes a wonderful stitch. It would look equally at home framed on a wall or presented as a thoughtful, handcrafted gift for someone who loves the ancient world.

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.
