Though not a friend of Clarice Starling, the Death’s- Head Hawkmoth has fascinated writers, artists and film-makers throughout the centuries.
It’s name refers to any of three species of the genus Acherontia. This mostly noctural moth is the largest moth in the British Isles, with a 5 inch wingspan.
This design measures 79 crosses in width and height. Stitched over 2 threads on 32 count linen (or over 1 on 16ct Aida) it would measure approximately 5” by 5” (12. 5 by 12. 5cm).
This pattern can be stitched on any fabric, but a nicely hand-dyed, slightly grotty looking fabric
combined with some variegated floss would look fantastic I think. You can select any colour or colours to stitch this design.
Make sure to check out the Leo & Roxy Yarn Co flosses at www.evertote.com in Canada. These hand- dyed cotton flosses are wonderful to work with and come in a fantastic range of colours.
This pattern has a total of 1146 crosses. When working with 2 pulled strands of this floss you can stitch approximately 1800 crosses with one hank. This means 1 skein (or any other floss measuring about 8 to 10 yards) should be sufficient to complete this project.
