Is it worth it?

Yes, for a mantel that wants plain knitted stockings in a soft grey. The Nanou stocking in Silver Gray is a single 46cm cable knit with a ribbed cuff and a loop, in one colour with no motif sewn on. The catch is that it is sold one at a time and the listing showed only two left, so a pair means putting both in the basket at once. The listing also muddles itself: a comparison table on the page labels the range appliqué and names a green and ivory colour, and the title says personalised, but the linked grey is a plain knit and nothing on the page offers a name.

Is it for you?

Get it if
  • A Scandi or neutral mantel with grey and cream
  • Anyone who wants a stocking with no motif or lettering
  • A pair or a family set built one stocking at a time
Skip it if
  • Anyone who wants wool: it is acrylic
  • Anyone after a personalised stocking: no name option is offered
  • A bright red and green scheme

The honest read

What wins you over
  • Plain silver grey, cable knit, with no appliqué or lettering in the listing photograph
  • 46cm long, a generous size for a mantel
  • A hanging loop at the cuff
  • Dispatched by Amazon
Where it gives
  • Sold singly, and only two were left in stock at the time of checking: buy both at once for a pair
  • The listing contradicts itself: a comparison table calls the range appliqué and names a green and ivory colour, and the title says personalised, yet the grey linked here is plain and no personalisation is offered
  • Acrylic, not wool; sold by a third party, Agenan

How we checked this · Researched, not handled · Oct 2026

Researched from the Amazon UK listing and the other sources listed here. We have not handled this product. The catch comes from the Amazon UK listing (15 October 2026).

  • Length (18in, 46cm), material (acrylic), the hanging loop, the Silver Gray colour, the pack of one and the weight (135g) taken from the Amazon UK listing for the Silver Gray, 18in, pack of one variant, checked 15 October 2026. The cable knit, ribbed cuff and the absence of any appliqué are from the listing's main photograph for this colour.
  • The catch is on the listing: it is a pack of one, with only two in stock. The pattern field (vintage appliqué) and the green and ivory colour field sit in a brand comparison table covering several stockings in the range, not the grey linked here. The title says personalised; nothing on the page offers a name.
  • Sold by Agenan and dispatched by Amazon; only two left in stock, with a standard Add to Basket button, at the time of checking.

Nanou grey knitted stocking: questions answered

A period hallway at Christmas: a pre-lit fir garland wound round the banister, a wreath on the front door and stockings on the mantel beyond
A living room dressed for Christmas in neutral tones with a lit tree

Does the Nanou grey stocking come as a pair?
No. The Silver Gray option linked here is a pack of one, so order two for a pair. At the time of checking only two were left.
Is the Nanou grey stocking plain or appliqué?
Plain. The listing photograph for the grey shows a cable knit and ribbed cuff in one colour, with nothing sewn on. The appliqué label on the page belongs to a comparison table covering the range.
Can the Nanou knitted stocking be personalised?
The title says personalised, but the listing offers no way to add a name, so treat it as a plain stocking.
Is the Nanou knitted stocking wool?
No. The listing gives the material as acrylic fibre.
