This unique crochet kit contains everything you need to make three different miniature amphorae.
The pattern is worked with a 3.5mm (US size: E-4) crochet hook (or the size needed to make a compact crochet fabric with the given yarn). You can choose to include a lovely natural bamboo crochet hook by Pony in the kit if you don't have one or are giving the kit as a gift.
The wool stuffing is a natural product. It is scoured, clean and carded, but may include the odd tiny bit of straw or leaf.
The fabric is up-cycled from off-cuts donated to me, often from vintage fabrics, and will vary in pattern but will always complement the yarn. I will never buy new fabric to supplement these kits.
The finished amphorae measure approximately 8.5 to 12cm (3⅜ inches to 4¾ inches).
The kit is designed to be as low-impact/sustainable as I can possibly make it:
• box - made with recycled materials, reusable, recyclable
• printer paper, labels and tissue - 100% recycled, recyclable
• business and notion cards - handmade from cereal packets, etc, recyclable
★ ---How Easy is this Kit? --- ★
🟨 Some aspects of this pattern make it a challenging project, so this kit is best suited to a confident or intermediate crocheter. Please see my other listings for kits suitable for individuals just starting out in crochet.
All my kits come with my full support if you have any questions.
★ ---Customization --- ★
Choose whether to include the lovely bamboo crochet hook as part of the kit.
Choose whether to receive the crochet pattern printed on recycled paper and included in the kit or e-mailed to you as a PDF document for use on your phone, tablet, e-book reader, etc, saving paper, ink and energy in the process!
Please indicate which version of the crochet pattern you would prefer - UK or US - in the “Notes to Seller” box at checkout. If you're not sure, please contact me and I'll help you choose. If you don’t specify a choice, I will make an educated guess based on the delivery location.
★ ---Gift Wrapping --- ★
If you'd like this item sent directly to someone else as a gift, that's no problem, just choose this option for free when checking out.
You can also choose to have the kit gift-wrapped at checkout. I use 100% recycled tissue, paper tape (varies seasonally), a 100% recycled cotton tie and an up-cycled cardboard tag to complete your eco-friendly gift.
