The most recognizable night sky in art, rebuilt one drill at a time. Van Gogh painted these swirls as thick ropes of impasto — which is what a drill grid does naturally, so the sky lays down as banded ribbons of cobalt and indigo (DMC 820 and 939 carry over 13,000 of the 19,881 drills — long, satisfying runs). The cypress rises the full left edge as one dark shape, and the sleeping village keeps the only warm drills on the canvas: a handful of lamplit windows that read like embers against all that blue. A faithful interpretation of the 1889 public-domain painting, drawn native to the grid — no muddy photo conversion. 20 DMC colors.
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.

20 DMC colors over 19,881 drills is a mid-complexity build — enough palette changes to stay interesting, not enough to feel like admin. The workload skews blue: 10 of the 20 colors are blue steps, covering 85% of the canvas, with DMC 820 alone accounting for 41% (8,164 drills). 8 accent colors each cover under 1% of the canvas — small bags that carry the highlights, so keep them sorted.

Chart-true by construction
The mockup above is rendered drill-by-drill from the finished chart (19,881 cells, 20 colors — the exact numbers in the tables). The design itself was drawn natively on the drill grid by our production design engine, in a real, ledgered Design Jobs run — the exact job and attempt are named in this kit’s provenance record. The engine painted a 200×200 working grid, its pixel lattice was recovered cell-for-cell, and this 141×141 window was copied out whole-cell — no resampling, no padding — with every color mapped to a real DMC code. What you approve is what gets printed. Each kit is made to order —
printed, picked, and packed when you buy, MOQ 1.
