Howling Wolf Forest Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Got this wolf framed in a circle of bare winter trees and the whole thing has an old woodcut print quality to it. The wolf is mid-howl, head thrown right back, and its positioned inside a perfect circular border made from branching bare limbs that reach inward from all sides. Its all black thread, single colour, and the contrast between the solid wolf body and the open sketchy negative space in the branch work is what gives it that engraving feel.

Six sizes in this file, running from 3 inches up to 8 inches wide. Thats 9,842 stitches at the small end and 33,219 at the large, with a density of 535 stitches per square centimetre. The Wilcom EmbroideryStudio digitising on the bare limbs uses a combination of satin and running stitches to get that bare twig look without going blobby. Stitch the 8 inch on a black hoodie back and it fills the space beautifully. Run polymesh cutaway under the design on jersey or fleece or the circular border will pull inward and distort the whole shape.

Best fabric choices are dark navy, forest green, charcoal or black. On a medium olive canvas tote it also looks realy good because the green pulls the woodland theme together. Avoid hooping medium-weight tearaway stabiliser on its own on thin t-shirt fabric, you need a second layer or the fill sections will sink and the wolf body will lose its shape. Run a topping on fleece so the fine twig detail stays readable.

Earlier this October a customer hooped it on flannel for a hunting jacket patch and said the engraving-style detail held beautifully. Use tearaway under woven denim and a cutaway under knits. Pop the 3 inch on a pocket and it reads clean from across a room.
