Autumn Mandala Hoops

28 ct, stitched over 2

Commence your cosy autumnal stitching with this hoop trio in rustic colours, the next in our autumnal series. Crisp leaves, nippy mornings, the way the sunlight filters through the changing trees - autumn is coming. The season boasts for cosy jumpers and curling up on the sofa to get stitching, along with decorating our home for the season. Jenny Van De Wiele's seasonal hoop series has launched us into the season that is rich with earthy colours of russet red, golden yellow and dark brown. The designs are worked on hoops in various sizes, so refer to the shopping list if you're unsure of which size to purchase for the specified design. There are a lot of fractionals in this, so it is best suited for evenweave fabric - we've stitched ours on cream cashel linen for a soft texture and to match the thread colours. The hoops had been painted in orange to match the palette, which sings in the shades of autumn.
