A hooked wool Christmas stocking: the Country Skier design. Hooked wool gives it real texture and weight rather than the flat face of a print.
Sized to hang on the mantel and actually hold gifts, not just decorate. Hang a row of different designs and the mantel looks collected rather than bought as a set.
A young skier with spiky yellow hair over a green hat band, blue jacket and red pants glides through a birch grove on a snow-cream hooked ground, the trunks worked in pale blue and white with dark bark marks, hung from a red loop. Quiet winter-woods scenery for a cabin or a family that spends the holiday on the mountain.

Wool pulled loop by loop through a backing, the way hooked rugs have been made for two centuries, is what gives this piece its depth and its weight in the hand. 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. A wonderful gift for hosts, newlyweds, and first-Christmas households.
