Bring monochrome elegance to your stitching with this stylised swan design, where a full rose bloom forms the bird’s body and sweeping wings and leaf-like tail feathers complete the silhouette. The curved neck, neat beak and layered feather lines give it a poised, ornamental look that will appeal to anyone who likes nature motifs with a more refined, graphic finish. In grey and black with just two thread colours, it has the calm, polished feel of ink drawing translated into embroidery.
Because the stitching is open and lightly worked, it suits fabrics that benefit from detail without too much bulk, such as cotton shirts, linen cushion covers, denim jackets or canvas tote bags. It works especially well on plain, darker grounds where the pale grey linework can stand out cleanly, but it is equally striking on natural linen for a softer look. With 12 size options from 3" to 10", it can read as a subtle chest motif or take centre stage on the back of a jacket, a bag panel or a decorative homeware piece.
