Two White Swans

Beginner9 colours16 hours of stitching

Few subjects carry quite the quiet elegance of swans, and this design captures two white swans resting side by side with a simplicity that is genuinely lovely to stitch. The soft palette keeps the work relaxed and meditative, making it a pleasure to pick up whenever you have a spare moment.

This pattern suits stitchers of all levels and would look beautiful framed in a hallway or given as a gift to someone who appreciates nature and handmade things. A timeless subject rendered in a style that feels both friendly and refined.

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.
