Snowflake Santa: a wool needlepoint Christmas stocking with Santa and snowflakes. The needlepoint is dense and even, with the slight stitch texture collectors look for.
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.
Santa in a hooded crimson coat stands before an evergreen, and the foot carries a scene of its own, white reindeer leaping across red. A matching red cuff tops it. Deep claret throughout, dense with stitching, and a good fit for a formal, dark-wood mantel.

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. A wonderful gift for anyone building a Christmas box worth inheriting.
