This rooster stands up straight with his comb high, tail feathers fanning out behind him in proper plumage layers. Seventeen thread colours sounds like a lot but its genuinely necessary here, the tail feathers alone have that deep iridescent green-teal shading that roosters actually have, and getting that with fewer colours just doesnt work. Burnt orange and rust on the wings and body, bright red comb and wattle, cream on the chest, dark outlines holding everything together.
Ive had this one selling really well through autumn and christmas as a farmhouse decor piece. My mum actually asked me to stitch a large version on a linen cushion cover for her kitchen and I was suprised how good it looked, very traditional country home feel.
Nine sizes from 3.05 inches up to 6.53 inches wide. Stitch count goes from 23k at the small end up to 61k on the largest, which is a high density design so use a solid cutaway stabiliser across all sizes. Woven cotton, linen, denim, and canvas are the ideal fabric choices. The feather detail needs proper backing to stitch without puckering, especially on the large version.
Best results on cream, oatmeal, white, and natural linen. On dark navy the teal and orange feathers really come forward. Skip lightweight fabrics without adding extra stabiliser under the hoop.

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.
