Our Let It Snow throw pillow is worked in wool needlepoint. It is the same tent stitch used for canvas work that gets passed down a generation at a time.
Made for the chair nobody sits in and everybody looks at. Needlepoint reads fine and smooth, so it balances a chunkier hooked or woven piece.
Pale sage above, a bank of white snow below. SNOW runs across the middle in candy cane stripes with a red knit cap with a blue and white band tipped over the O, and Let It sits small in red above. Flurries dot the green ground. It stays right through January when the red-and-green pillows go away.

Every square inch of the canvas is covered in wool, which is why a needlepoint piece holds its color and its shape for decades. 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 thoughtful gift for a Christmas host, a newlywed couple, or a family collection that grows every year, and a good reason to keep one yourself.
