Holiday Pine, hooked in wool, made up as a Christmas stocking, pine trees front and center. The wool is pulled through a backing until the design stands up off the surface in dense loops.
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.
A slim evergreen strung with red berries and topped by a gold star stands on a snow-cream hooked ground, under a berry-red cuff banded with pine sprigs and white berries and above a matching red toe. Classic mantel coloring, with a chunky loop texture that keeps it folk-art rather than formal.

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 hosts, newlyweds, and first-Christmas households, or for your own house.
