Birch Trees: a hooked wool Christmas stocking. Hooked wool gives it real texture and weight rather than the flat face of a print.
One for every name on the mantel. Order a set and they hang as a family. Name tags on the cuff and it becomes the same stocking every year.
Slim birch trunks in white and dove-gray stripe vertically up a deep red hooked ground, their bark markings picked out in dark brown. Graphic, and nearly abstract from across the room. That makes it a good counterweight beside busier figural stockings.

Hooking is slow work and it shows, in dense wool loops that stand up off the surface and hide the wear flat fabrics show. These are made in limited seasonal quantities. The wool is why this one goes back into the box every January instead of into the bin. Worth buying for anyone building a Christmas box worth inheriting, or for your own house.
