{"product_id":"christmas-carousel-1","title":"Christmas Carousel","description":"\u003cp\u003eNEW RELEASE NOVEMBER 2026 - AVAILABLE ONLY IN YOUR LOCAL OR ONLINE SHOP\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis design was inspired by a carousel at the Dallas zoo, which I used to visit when I lived there.  The design includes eight warm-weather animals, all decked out for winter weather.  But what brings the carousel theme to life is the stand designed by  Matt Twist.  (You'll need to purchase the stand separately, as this listing is only for the cross stitch chart.)  The stand will hold all eight designs (plus scissors), and will even spin for the carousel effect!  The stand is ready for your own finishing, with paint or stain, in any color you like.  And since the ornaments are attached to the stand with magnets you can easily swap them out for something different during the year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe model is stitched on 32 count \"Beanstalk\" linen from Fiber On A Whim.  This is a light blue fabric (the closest DMC equivalent is 3813).  Stitch count varies by design, however each animal is 52 stitches high.  The models are finished with plaid fabric and silk ribbon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThreads Used:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDMC - 166, 471, 948, 3041, 3371, 3768, 3771, 3830, 3865\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDMC Color Variations 4124\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeeks Dye Works - Winter Wheat(*), Pecan, Roasted Figs, Kris' Bon Bon, Glaciel Melt\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClassic Colorworks - Persimmon\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoxy Floss Co - Green Thumb\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCottage Garden Threads - Van, Candlestick\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(*) If you are stitching the design on 16\/32 count or lower fabric, you may need 2 skeins of this color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA DMC conversion is included.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Blue Flower, LLC","offers":[{"title":"PDF","offer_id":63703319838860,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Printed","offer_id":63703319871628,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/6649\/4604\/files\/ChristmasCarousel-photo1.jpg?v=1793915316","url":"https:\/\/www.blueflowerstitching.com\/products\/christmas-carousel-1","provider":"The Blue Flower, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
