yarn art

framed yarn

The idea for this project came from here, just a couple things changed.

I think I mentioned before how much I love this yarn. Now you can really tell I do! I used one of the frames that I used for the silhouettes I made last year. I only had the one left, those dollar store frames don't like to take a lot of falling off the wall.

I decided not to add fabric to the inside of the frame. I think the rough look of it looks really good, maybe it's just me? The hook will eventually get changed out for a bigger, possibly wooden one, if I can ever find one for cheap. The one in there doesn't bother me too badly, it's a plastic 7.5mm that used to belong to my grandma, I kind of like having something in there that can remind me of her.

  5. That is really cute! If I still had a sewing room, I would have to do something like that, I think, for decorations. :)

  7. What a cool idea! I'm familiar with your love of that yarn, lol. It's perfect!

    I love the idea of doing a series like this in my craft room with an homage to each of my obsessions. How fun would that be?
