Yacht At Sea

Nautical & MaritimeBeginner9 colours16 hours of stitching

There is something wonderfully timeless about a sailing yacht making its way across open water, and this pattern brings that peaceful scene to life in thread. With its billowing sails and gently rippling sea, it captures the quiet joy of days spent on or beside the water.

Whether you are a seasoned stitcher or simply love all things nautical, this design makes a lovely addition to a coastal home or a thoughtful gift for anyone who feels happiest near the sea.

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.
