Carousel Horse

28 ct, stitched over 2

Stitch this magnificent carousel horse for a beautifully nostalgic project to delight in, for years to come! Covered in colourful drapery, beautiful blooms and a saddle inlaid with gold, this pony is a dream with its shading and ombre effects in pretty pinks, purples and greens. With her golden flowing mane and lush full tail, this mare is simply stunning in every way. She's stepped elegantly off the prettiest carousel, straight into stitches! Using 28 vibrant colours, including a gorgeous gold metallic thread, this is a project to behold. With French knots, the shimmer of that specialty thread, a generous sprinkling of seed beads and stitched on 28-count Brittney evenweave, this design is one for experienced stitchers. We suggest using a size 26 tapestry needle on the fine evenweave and a specialist beading needle to attach the pearly white and glam gold beads. Pretty as a picture, this detailed horse design is not for the faint of heart, but she will certainly be a handsome picture to relish!
