Hand Embroidered, Standard Size, Personalized Linen Initial Christmas Stocking

ABOUT THE STOCKINGS Handmade in Santa Fe, NM, these classic linen Christmas stockings are where the warmth of a Victorian Christmas & Scandinavian simplicity meet on a Venn diagram. They would be at home hanging from a mantel in Stockholm, brightening a cozy cabin in Vermont, or holding little packages in a sunny Los Angeles apartment. My earliest memories of Christmas are filled with images of my family's handmade holiday decorations sparkling from the mantle or adorning the dining room table, & while I cut back on some of the sequins & glitter for this 21st century update, the spirit of craftsmanship & a love for sewing remains. Available in seven colors, these hues reflect a contemporary palate inspired by traditional colors that could be seen as easily in the 18020s as in the 2020s. Optional personalized embroidery is done by hand with DMC embroidery floss. This listing is for first initial/single letter stockings (see photos). To find full name stockings, please see my shop :) ABOUT DMC EMBROIDERY FLOSS These stockings are hand embroidered with floss made by DMC, a textile company founded in 1746 in Mulhouse, France by Jean-Henri Dollfus. Still made in the city of the company's birth, DMC embroidery floss has been a staple of craftspeople for generations. Today, DMC maintains the highest environmental standards for production, partly thanks to its own water recycling system. After centuries, the Dollfus family motto is still as true as ever: TENUI FILO MAGNUM TEXITUR OPUS: From a simple thread, a work of art is born. ABOUT LINEN Made from flax, linen is one of the oldest & most sustainable fibers known. It is durable, versatile, & perennial. Fragments of this amazing textile have been found at Swiss lake dwellings dating back to 8,000 BC. PERSONALIZATION 1. Choose stocking color 2. Choose optional embroidery color 3.
