Stocking Finishing

Prepare for the Holiday Season with needlepoint stocking finishing. Our services include your choice of hundreds of fabrics, cording options, and monogramming to make your custom needlepoint stocking a cherished holiday keepsake.

What Are My Options For Stocking Finishing?

Stockings are a personal and intimate needlepoint gift - our goal is to bring to life whatever you are looking for whether that is matching the style of an heirloom piece or creating a new, fun finish.

  • Knife Edge

    Similar to a knife edge pillow, this style is very traditional and comes to a single welted or corded edge. We offer 300+ backing and lining fabrics and custom cording options. Like all soft fabric finishes, monogramming is an option, too!

  • Boxed

    A boxed stocking is perfect for those who refer a little more in the stocking each Holiday. This finish is gusseted and has two edges, like a boxed pillow. The same fabric and monogramming options as the knife edge stocking apply.

  • Embellished

    Either the knife edge or boxed stocking can be embellished with bows, ribbon, extravagant cording, and bells. Let us know what you have in mind and we will make it happen.

  • Mini Stocking

    All the same fun options, just smaller!

Stockings can generally be completed pretty quickly as long as there are not a lot of custom features or embellishments. On average full size stocking will take around 12 weeks and mini stockings about 5 months.

Instructions For Sending In Finishing

Where Should I Send It?

Mail your piece(s) to either Lycette Designs location:

Lycette Palm Beach

230 S County Rd. Suite A, Palm Beach, FL 33480.


Lycette Newport

92 William St, Newport, RI 02840.

How Should I Package It?

Please send your finishing in a box or padded mailer - rolling or placing the canvas between two pieces of cardboard is preferred. We recommend securing your needlepoint in a plastic zip-loc type bag to prevent any potential water damage.

What Should I Include?

Be sure to include your best contact information in the package along with your first and last name. You can also let us know the best times to try to reach you!

You may also choose to include notes about the piece(s). Feel free to print out or reference photos, a napkin sketch, Instagram posts, etc.

If you have a very specific fabric, material, or trim you'd like it may be best to include it. We'll always return any unused materials with your completed piece.

What Happens After I've Sent It?

When your piece(s) arrives at Lycette we will contact you via your preferred method as soon as possible. Based on demand and store traffic this may take up to three days from the day you see your item's tracking update to Delivered.

When we contact you we will go over any notes that were provided, discuss finishing details, choose fabric/trims, etc. From there it is off to the finisher!
