Our Santa Christmas stocking features Santa, worked in wool needlepoint. Wool needlepoint has a firm, flat surface that lets the design read clearly from across the room.
It goes up on the same hook every December and becomes part of how the room looks. Hang a row of different designs and the mantel looks collected rather than bought as a set.
An old-world Father Christmas in a crimson robe and pointed hood carries a fir tree and a bundle of toys across a starry navy ground, his long green mantle spilling over the snow-white foot. Stately rather than jolly. It suits a formal mantel with brass and garland.

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. Worth buying for hosts, newlyweds, and first-Christmas households, or for your own house.
