Fa La La: an embroidered needlepoint Christmas stocking. The canvas is covered stitch by stitch and the highlights are embroidered in afterwards, so the design has two levels of texture.
It goes up on the same hook every December and becomes part of how the room looks. Hang a row of different designs and the mantel looks collected rather than bought as a set.
Stitched in block letters across a cream needlepoint ground, FA LA LA LA repeats line after line in mismatched red, teal, pink, marigold, green and cobalt, bound in a slim cream edge with a matching tab loop. A typographic take on a carol, cheerful and graphic enough to hang year after year.

The ground is covered stitch by stitch and the highlights are embroidered on top, the way this line has always been built. Seasonal designs are made in limited runs: once a Christmas design sells through it is usually gone until next year. Worth buying for hosts, newlyweds, and first-Christmas households, or for your own house.
