wool which is a great natural insulator and looks wonderfully cheerful
with its stripy spring shades. Only one ball of each colour is required so it’s
an ideal project for using up your yarn leftovers. Practice the cluster before
you begin so you can make sure your bobbles are nice and even.BUST YOUR STASH WITH
