Might try Nordic Needle or 123 Stitch. They're both good at carrying these fibers.

Couldn't I substitute Hand Over-dyed floss instead of using #5 Pearl Cotton?

YOU CAN SUBSTITUTE WHATEVER YOU WANT.

Supply list is "suggested" The cross-stitch police will not come and take you away.

Make it twice -- use totally different flosses -- the two finished products will be similar but very different.

Definitely try and make your work unique

You would have to use a LOT of floss if you are using the 18 ct linen, it would need to be at least 4 strands, maybe all 6. They recommend the pearl cotton because it covers better on this bigger weave linen.

The stockings are bigger than they look on the cover...20 " long if done on the 18 ct.

I have done 5 of the Shepherds Bush stocki vs and they are extremely nice. Love working with weeks threads, they do a subtle color change as you stitch. When stitching with them do one complete stitch at a time.
