There is something wonderfully serene about a weeping willow, with its long, trailing branches sweeping softly downward in a curtain of green. This pattern captures that quiet grace beautifully, making it a joy to stitch and a pleasure to display.

Whether you are drawn to botanical subjects or simply love bringing a little of the natural world indoors, this design makes a lovely addition to any wall. It also frames up wonderfully as a heartfelt gift for anyone who cherishes peaceful, outdoor scenes.

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.
