The Holiday Frames Nutcracker Christmas stocking is hooked in wool with a nutcracker. 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. Name tags on the cuff and it becomes the same stocking every year.
A nutcracker in a red drum-major coat with gold epaulets, mint trousers and a green crown stands on a red and pink striped hooked ground, a red loop at the cuff above him. The ballet-box character in a softer palette, playful enough for a child's room and traditional enough for the living room.

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. 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 anyone building a Christmas box worth inheriting, or for your own house.
