Red Wolf Head Embroidery Design, Instant Download

The wolf is dead centre, staring straight out, ears pinned back and eyes narrowed like it knows exactly what its looking at. The face is all tight directional stitching in crimson red with black layered over the top for the muzzle detail, the ear liners, and those heavy brow lines. Behind the head sits a rough circular band, not a clean ring but a jagged splattered one with lil berry clusters dotted around it. Below the chin and circle, the whole thing drips down in long uneven strokes, like the design was painted in thick red ink and ya just let it run.

Four colours total. Crimson, rose pink, dark red, and black. Nine sizes across the range from a compact 4.03 inches up to a full 6.51 inches wide, so ya can fit it on everything from a chest pocket patch to a full denim jacket back piece. The simplicity of the colour palette is what makes it hit hard on dark fabric. Just those reds punching out of black cotton or charcoal canvas.

I had a customer this spring who does custom biker jackets and she ordered this specifically for a back patch run. Wanted something that read from across the room and didnt look like a typical embroidered animal design. This was exactly the lil bit of edge she was after. Wildlife photographers and nature illustrators order it too, which suprised me a bit but it makes sense once you see it on a canvas bag.

Best results on black or charcoal cotton or denim. The crimson fill and the pink mid-tones look almost 3D against dark fabric. Avoid pale or white grounds here, the design loses its punch completely on cream or oatmeal. Use a good cutaway stabiliser underneath and drop your machine speed on the drip sections because the vertical satin columns are long and need consistent tension from the bobbin.

Ping me if the file gives you grief or those long vertical drips stitch uneven on your machine and Ill look at the tension settings with you.
