A village square on Christmas night: one grand tree in the center, star lit, with snow-roofed houses glowing behind it and lamp posts holding little pools of warm light. The design was composed for the drill grid from the start — the tree’s garlands are drawn as bold individual light-dots, exactly one cluster of drills each, so the strung-lights effect comes from placement, not from printing tricks. Deep indigo sky fills the top of the canvas in long, calm runs; the payoff sections are the amber windows and the star, where a few dozen warm drills do all the storytelling. At 40×40 cm this is the larger format in the launch set, sized to be the seasonal centerpiece over a mantel or entry table. Start it in October at an evening-a-week pace and it frames comfortably before the season peaks — or make it the household’s December project and let everyone place a roofline.
The chart, measured
Every number on this page is read from this design’s actual manufacturing chart — the same
file the 141×141 symbol canvas is printed from — not estimated for marketing.

With 12 DMC colors over 19,881 drills, this chart sits at the relaxed end of the catalog: long uninterrupted color runs and few tray swaps. The workload skews blue: 5 of the 12 colors are blue steps, covering 59% of the canvas, with DMC 820 alone accounting for 15% (3,029 drills). No confetti colors: every DMC in the tray covers at least 1% of the canvas, which keeps every bag genuinely in play.
