Hayba: Hooded Falcon with Arabic Calligraphy

The Arabic word هيبة (hayba) means presence: the quiet authority that fills a room before anyone speaks. A saker falcon in its leather falconry hood, carved like a linocut, with gold seams on the hood and chest feathers that fade into sketch lines, over the word in classic Naskh calligraphy. Three threads; the light parts of the falcon are the hoodie itself. The smallest size is the word alone, for the left chest, so one hoodie can carry the word on the front and the whole piece on the back.

• 3 sizes included: 184 × 334 mm (36 × 54 cm jacket-back frame), 162 × 294 mm (8 × 12 in hoop) and 90 × 62 mm (4 × 4 in hoop). Each size is digitized at its own size, not scaled.
• 3 thread colours, with Madeira Polyneon codes and the colour order on each size's production sheet.
• Light fabric: made for sand, cream, bone and white hoodies and sweatshirts. The light parts of the design are the fabric itself, so skip black and dark colours.

Best on fleece hoodies and heavy sweatshirts, with a medium cut-away stabilizer and a water-soluble topping on fleece. The back size needs a jacket-back frame (about 36 × 54 cm); the 8 × 12 size fits home machines with an 8 × 12 in hoop; the chest word fits a 4 × 4 in hoop.
