Woven Sunflower Kit

This unique DIY (do it yourself) sunflower kit includes all the materials you need to create 1 beautiful woven sunflower 🌻

It’s the perfect gift for the yarn lover who doesn’t want to knit/ crochet in the summer, for someone who wants a beautiful handmade wall art, or for someone who just loves trying something new!

How hard are they?
These are basic weaving kits. However due to the round nature of the loom the initial warping can be a little difficult to get the tension just right so the warping string doesn’t slip. But once you get that, the weaving technique is simple (my 8 year old actually loves weaving them) but they do take 3+ hours of time to create. Also you need to be able to use a hot glue gun safely, so I suggest ages 13-113.

What the Kit Includes:
•6” embroidery hoop
•pearled cotton warping string
•2 types of yarn for weaving
•felt for loops on the edge of petals
•felt for petals
•one wooden disk for labeling the back
•instruction packet

What tools you need:
•scissors
•hot glue gun & glue
• embroidery needle (for stitching wood label disk on back- optional)
•fabric stiffer (optional) I use Aleene’s Stiffen Quick which can be purchased online. This will help give specific crinkled shape and character to your petals and help longer petals from drooping over time

FELT: is a high quality Wool Mix

Petal Color: You may pick your felt petal color or have it be a surprise!

Loop Color: the felt loops sit just inside the petals. These are optional (the Red sunflower does not have them the yellow one does) YOU MAY PICK THE FELT LOOP COLOR BY SENDING ME A NOTE WITH YOUR ORDER, otherwise it will be a suprise!


YARN:
Your yarns may be any combination of wool, cotton, acrylic, or other blends. I like using a mix to capture different colors and textures!

You may pick general yarn colors, and can ask about specific yarns, but please NOTE that not all yarns pictured will be available at any given point. I am always rotating in new yarns and some get used up.


Please send me a note if you have specific questions!!!
