The top is piled high with what looks like a fresh pour of hot cocoa toppings: a swirled peak of whipped cream done in directional stitching so it actually looks like cream and not just a white blob, a cinnamon stick leaning across the top, a couple of holly sprigs with red berries on the left, and then scattered through the cream are a handful of tiny vintage-style light bulbs in yellow, red, teal and orange. The whole thing reads like someone went a bit overboard building the perfect instagram hot chocolate, which is exactly the vibe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe told me she was stitching holiday tea towel sets to sell at her church christmas fair and needed something with that cozy drinks aesthetic, thats when I pointed her to this one. Its 16 colours, which is the most complex mug design in the shop, and the stitch counts reflect that. The smallest at 3.5 inches wide runs around 17k, the largest at 7.5 inches wide goes up to 45k stitches. Five sizes total, all square-ish proportions, roughly equal width and height, so it sits neatly centred on most projects. Heavy satin fill in the base holds colour well through washes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTape a medium cutaway stabiliser behind your fabric before hooping, its a dense piece and those satin sections need firm backing. Use a water-soluble topping on any knit fabric so the cream swirl detail sits on the surface properly, it sinks into knit loops without it. Slow your machine down on the cinnamon stick section, thats a narrow satin column and the edges need steady tension. Lay all 16 colour threads out in order before you start, it saves a lot of hunting mid-stitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCream, white or light grey fabric lets the navy body pop properly. On oatmeal linen it looks like a proper artisan kitchen piece. Skip dark backgrounds, its a dark mug on dark fabric and you lose the whole shape. message me if the download gives you any trouble.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266669727894,"sku":null,"price":4.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/WinterHotCocoaMugwithSnowflakeEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1772254356","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/winter-hot-cocoa-mug-snowflake","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
