A wool needlepoint stocking: the Christmas Soldier design. The needlepoint is dense and even, with the slight stitch texture collectors look for.
Sized to hang on the mantel and actually hold gifts, not just decorate. Name tags on the cuff and it becomes the same stocking every year.
A red-coated toy soldier with gold frogging stands before a decorated tree on a plum-purple needlepoint ground, pale scroll borders top and bottom, a red cuff and loop above. Classic Nutcracker Suite coloring. The piece to hang when the ballet is a family tradition.

Needlepoint is patient work, and the stitch count is what gives the design its fine detail and the piece its firm, even surface. Christmas designs are produced in limited runs each year, and wool is one of the few materials that outlasts the season it was bought for. Worth buying for the family that unpacks the same decorations every December, or for your own house.
