A wool needlepoint throw pillow with holly: the Holly Sparkle design. The needlepoint is dense and even, with the slight stitch texture collectors look for.
Out on the first of December, packed away on the sixth of January, loved for a lifetime. It layers well with a hooked piece or plain velvet, and repeating one of its colors pulls a sofa together.
The old world Santa here wears a long red robe worked in wool needlepoint, carrying a wrapped gift and a bundle of greenery. Holly and berries run the deep red border on all sides. Rich and dark enough to hold its own on a leather sofa.

The canvas is covered stitch by stitch in wool, which is what gives a needlepoint piece its fine detail and its firm, even 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. A thoughtful gift for anyone building a Christmas box worth inheriting, and a good reason to keep one yourself.
