Howling wolf moon is a full circle scene, way more detail than the wolf head version I made before. Wolf sits on a small rocky ledge, head tipped up howling at the moon. Behind him a row of dense pine trees rises into the night sky, and a thick circle outline frames the whole scene. The moon shows as a small clean disc of negative space in the upper right corner, you cant miss it.
One thread colour, black. Thousands of short stitch strokes build the wolf fur flowing in fur direction, the trees get dense satin shading, and the moon stays untouched so the fabric shows through clean. Reads like a tattoo flash piece or a forest brand patch.
I drew this for a customer who runs a mens flannel brand last november. He wanted something rugged but not aggressive for his fall release back panel. Stitched 50 sample hoodies for his pop up at a mountain market and theyre all gone within the first weekend. Other camping brands have been ordering it since for similar back panel runs.
Five sizes, smallest 3.28 inch wide for a left chest stitch or a side patch. Largest stretches 6.3 inch across for a hoodie back panel or a tote front, theres no fuss. Stitch count climbs from 17.4k to 29.3k because the sketch detail across the whole circle adds up fast. Avoid going below the 3.28 because the trees blur together, theres just no detail left.
Best results on light grey, sand, cream and natural fabric where the black sketch reads as solid ink. On dark fabric the design still works but the contrast flattens out, its not the best look. Tearaway works on woven cotton and canvas, switch to cutaway behind fleece or jersey for hoodies. Hoop tight and run the machine at medium pace because the layered stitch strokes need stable fabric to stay crisp. Send me a note if anything fails to load and ill rebuild it fast.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
