This Christmas bauble is shaped like a thread spool made of glass: the thread sits in neat windings around the body, and a needle is pushed into the yarn at the top, as if someone had just paused their sewing. The rims of the spool are gold coloured and covered in glitter, so they catch the glow of the fairy lights.

At 8.3 cm tall, the ornament is big enough to stand out on the tree while still reading as a fine detail among classic round baubles. The thread winding is either red or green: the bauble comes assorted, so the colour cannot be chosen. If you sew, or if you collect ornaments that are anything but ordinary, this one gets noticed.

The design takes a tool from the sewing room and turns it into tree decoration. The body is formed from glass, the winding is made of acrylic fibres, and the inserted needle is what turns a small object into a little scene. The glitter sits on the gold coloured rims at the top and bottom and picks up the light of candles and lamps.

A gold coloured hanging cord is attached, matching the rims of the spool. Both colour versions work with a classic red and green scheme as well as with a tree in gold and natural tones.

At 6 x 6 x 8.3 cm the spool sits nicely in the hand and looks like a miniature sewing tool on the branch. Glass makes up the main share at 90 per cent, joined by 5 per cent acrylic fibres for the thread and 5 per cent iron.

Keen sewers and hobby dressmakers enjoy decorations that pick up their craft. Collectors of unusual Christmas ornaments also get something well away from the standard round bauble.

As a present, the spool works through Advent, for Secret Santa or as a small thank you when you are invited over for baking or dinner.

Set a little deeper into the tree, the gold glitter rims show best, because the lights sit behind them. As the ornament is made of glass, it belongs in the upper branches, out of reach of small children and pets.

If you want red and green side by side on the tree, you need more than one piece, since the colour of the winding cannot be chosen. And because the motif is all about sewing, the spool combines well with thread or fabric into a larger gift.

Will I receive the red or the green version? The ornament is supplied assorted. The thread winding is either red or green and the colour cannot be chosen.

How big is the ornament? It measures 6 x 6 x 8.3 cm (L x W x H), making it a little taller than a typical medium round bauble.

What is the spool made of? It is 90 per cent glass, 5 per cent acrylic fibres and 5 per cent iron. The thread is wound around the body and a needle sits in the yarn.

Is a hanger included? Yes, the bauble has a gold coloured hanging cord and can go straight onto the tree.

Does it make a good gift for someone who sews? Yes. The motif speaks directly to sewing and suits a small Christmas present, Secret Santa or a hostess gift.
