A wool needlepoint Christmas stocking, a reindeer front and center: the Reindeer design. It is the same tent stitch used for canvas work that gets passed down a generation at a time.
It goes up on the same hook every December and becomes part of how the room looks. Name tags on the cuff and it becomes the same stocking every year.
A golden-tan reindeer with a mossy-green saddle blanket prances across an ivory ground, framed above and below by swirling gold scrollwork and a matching ivory cuff. Tonal and quiet, and the near-monochrome coloring lets it sit with beige and brass decorating without adding another red.

The canvas is covered stitch by stitch in wool, which is what gives a needlepoint piece its fine detail and its firm, even hand. 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.
