A hooked wool Christmas stocking with a skier: the Ski design. The loops catch the light differently from every angle, which is what gives hooked work its depth from across a room.
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.
A full alpine scene: two skiers cut down a white slope past dark green pines, gray peaks rising behind them into a pale blue sky, with a red hanging loop above. Made for the ski-house mantel, or anyone counting days to the first chairlift.

Wool pulled loop by loop through a backing, the way hooked rugs have been made for two centuries, is what gives this piece its depth and its weight in the 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. A wonderful gift for hosts, newlyweds, and first-Christmas households.
