A wool needlepoint Christmas stocking featuring a nutcracker: the Nutcracker design. It is the same tent stitch used for canvas work that gets passed down a generation at a time.
Sized to hang on the mantel and actually hold gifts, not just decorate. Hang a row of different designs and the mantel looks collected rather than bought as a set.
Pale sand needlepoint with a nutcracker in a silver-gray coat and gold crown holding his staff, framed above and below by curling gold-and-taupe scrollwork. The muted palette turns a familiar figure into something restrained enough for a formal drawing room.

Worked in wool with the even tension and clean finish that good needlepoint is judged on. 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 anyone building a Christmas box worth inheriting, and a good reason to keep one yourself.
