Two Downhill Skiers: a hooked wool Christmas stocking. 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.
Two downhill skiers, one in green and blue, one in red and camel, carve tracks down a cream hooked slope traced with gray powder lines, topped with a slim red hanging loop. Sporty and full of motion, a natural gift for the household that measures Christmas in ski days.

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. Makes a good gift for the family that unpacks the same decorations every December.
