Three cacti in pots: a tall ribbed cactus in the centre with orange flowers, flanked by two smaller round cacti in green pots.

Trio of Potted Cacti

Nature & PlantsBeginner10 colours14 hours of stitching

This trio of potted cacti brings a little desert charm to your stitching basket. A tall, ribbed cactus stands proudly in the middle, flanked by two smaller companions, each settled in its own neat pot. Touches of warm orange bloom against the fresh greens, giving the whole group a cheerful, friendly look.

It is a lovely choice for plant lovers, and for anyone who likes the idea of greenery that never needs watering. Once finished, it looks sweet in a simple frame on a kitchen wall, a windowsill shelf or a home office, and it makes a thoughtful gift for a friend with a growing collection of houseplants.

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, Dimensions, Gamma, Luca-S, PNK Kirov, Sullivans and Unitas. Pick your brand when you start the project.
