YarnYAY! October Box #42

This month’s yarn is a soft, fluffy, feltable wool from California sheep, Scream. It’s hand-dyed in the perfect autumn multi-shade, Copperhead.

Hey, pumpkin, who’s ready to felt? This month we’re knitting or crocheting, then machine-felting to create pumpkin plushies that are fit to decorate your home from Halloween to Thanksgiving! The knit version is worked in Stockinette stitch, from the bottom up, then cinched together. The crochet version is sculpted in single crochet stitches magically going from floppy circle to oval squash with the help of some decreases. Both are adorned in any way that makes you happy!

These American-made pumpkin-handled scissors will make your season’s snipping feel fall-festive!
