Hellige tre konger - small bell pull - Ida Winckler (IW)

"Hellige tre konger" (Three Wise Men) - small bell pull - Ida Winckler (IW) is an embroidery kit with a small narrative Christmas motif. The three kings appear at the bottom of the embroidery, while stars, a crown and a small blue bird lead the eye upwards through the narrow bell pull.

The colours are warm and classic, with golden, violet, pink, red and brown shades. This gives the motif both a ceremonial character and a light, almost fairy-tale quality.

The embroidery is stitched with Danish Flower Thread on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 12B. The finished bell pull measures 4 x 23 cm.

The Three Wise Men in colourful robes

At the bottom of the motif are the three kings. They are depicted as small figures with golden crowns and long robes, each in a different colour.

One wears violet, the next a bright pink-red shade and the third a warm brown tone. Golden details are repeated across the figures and bring the different colours together.

The three kings are staggered down through the motif. This creates movement in the narrow composition and makes each figure distinct, while the embroidery retains a simple and clear expression.

Beside the lowest king is also a small green shape, adding another touch of colour to the motif.

Guiding star, crown and small celestial symbols

Above the kings is a large golden star. Its long rays make it one of the most prominent elements of the bell pull. It serves as the guiding star and connects the motif to the story of the Three Wise Men.

Around the large star, smaller golden stars are scattered across the light background. They create space and rhythm between the different elements of the motif.

Beneath the star is a decorative crown in golden, pink and green-brown shades. The crown emphasises the royal theme and forms a fine transition between the sky and the three figures.

At the top is a small blue bird, which can be interpreted as a dove of peace. It adds a light and peaceful element to the motif and fits well with the Christian Christmas story.

A narrow Christmas embroidery with many small details

The finished bell pull measures only 4 x 23 cm. Despite its small format, the motif contains many different elements. Kings, crowns, stars and the small bird are distributed throughout its length.

A fine golden-brown border runs along both sides and around the motif. It acts as a discreet frame and emphasises the long shape of the bell pull.

The small format makes the bell pull suitable for places where larger Christmas embroideries may not fit. It can hang beside a door frame, on a narrow wall or together with other small Christmas hangings.

Danish Flower Thread on linen 12B

The embroidery is stitched with Danish Flower Thread. The matte character of the thread suits the warm Christmas colours and the small figurative details well.

The fabric is Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 12B. The fine structure provides a good base for the small cross stitches and highlights the individual figures against the light background.

Three Wise Men - small bell pull - Ida Winckler (IW) is an embroidery kit for those who love classic Christmas stories, small embroideries and decorative motifs. The finished result is a charming Christmas hanging that can be brought out year after year.
