The Santa Nutcracker Christmas stocking showcases hooked wool texture with Santa and a nutcracker. Hooked wool gives it real texture and weight rather than the flat face of a print.
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.
Deep navy hooked ground, a wide-bearded Santa in a red coat and black boots carrying a fir tree and a sack of toys, with thick looped wool giving the beard its bulk and a red loop at the top. Textural and slightly primitive in the best way, more folk carving than greeting card.

Hooking is slow work and it shows, in dense wool loops that stand up off the surface and hide the wear flat fabrics show. 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. Makes a good gift for anyone building a Christmas box worth inheriting.
