A vegan extra-large Christmas stocking, hand-knitted for you in a traditional style in undyed organic cotton with recycled cotton trims.
This gorgeously cuddly stocking is knitted from a real sock pattern with properly turned heel and toe and is wonderfully stretchy, meaning it will accommodate all sorts of oddly shaped presents! A wonderful Christmas gift for a son or daughter, or newlyweds or parents-to-be. Why not get a set for the whole family to hang by your fireplace?
OPTION 1: BOW
Ready made: a cream stocking with a red bow sewn to the front at the top.
OPTION 2: HO HO HO!
Ready made: a cream stocking with "Ho Ho Ho!" hand-embroidered in red along the front.
OPTION 3: PERSONALISED LETTERING
Made to order: a cream stocking with lettering of your choice hand-embroidered in red along the front. In the "Add your personalisation" box, please type the name you require (e.g. "Anna"). Due to the style of writing, the name will be embroidered in lower case starting with a capital (e.g. Anna, not ANNA), in the same way as the "Ho Ho Ho!".
***If no name is entered in the box, and no other communication is received from you, you will receive a plain stocking with a bow and no writing on, even if you have paid for lettering***
DIMENSIONS:
Tip to toe: 63cm/25"
Across leg: 17cm/6.5"
Note: knitted things are stretchy and if there's anything particularly heavy in it, your stocking may well reach the floor!
COLOURS: Please note that the apparent colour of the product may vary according to monitor differences.
WASHING INSTRUCTIONS: hand wash only
ECO-CREDENTIALS: this stocking is an investment in the future as it can be re-used for years (possibly decades). It is made from organic cotton that is unbleached and undyed (Knitpicks Simply Cotton Organic Worsted), just about as natural as it's possible to get. Organic cotton uses no pesticides, and a lot less water than normal cotton. The hanging loop and optional bow are Hoooked Spesso Eco Barbante, which has a positive environmental impact as it is made with undyed, recycled cotton fibres without any use of water. Lettering is embroidered in Hoooked Soft Cotton DK recycled yarn which is 80% cotton and 20% other materials, but 100% recycled and made with respect for the environment and free of any additional dyes or toxic substances.

PROCESSING TIME:
Ready made stockings will be shipped within 1-2 days. For stockings with personalised embroidery (option 3), I have one stocking made up ready to be embroidered, so can ship that within a few days. If you order more than one of any option, I will need to knit the extra stockings from scratch and will need to extend the shipping time. I will check with you first to confirm the estimated time. I aim to ship within 1 week of purchase, though this may take longer if you purchase a lot of stockings!
SHIPPING: All packaging is reused/recycled to keep costs down and avoid waste, and any tape used is biodegradable. Shipping for this item is Royal Mail special delivery by 1pm next day or standard tracked international post.
