The Primitive Hare

Gothic & Folklore-Inspired Cross Stitch from Italy

Italian designer Sara Guermani draws on maritime legend, fairy tales, and the mystery of the natural world to create some of the most distinctive counted cross stitch patterns available today. The Primitive Hare charts are stitched on exclusive hand-dyed linens using carefully chosen palettes of Gentle Art Sampler Threads, Weeks Dye Works, Classic Colorworks, and DMC floss. From enchanting mermaids and Celtic selkies to Red Riding Hood and the spirits of the deep woods, each design rewards patient stitching with an heirloom piece rich in atmosphere and detail.
