{"product_id":"mushroom-spool-knitting-kit-with-yarn-and-needle","title":"Mushroom Spool Knitting Kit with Yarn and Needle","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cheerful spool knitting kit is built around a little wooden mushroom with a smiling face, rosy pink cheeks and a red cap scattered with white spots. Metal pegs stand up from the top of the cap, and the stem is hollow, so the knitted cord grows down through the middle and out of the base. Inside the box are three balls of cotton yarn in red, pink and white, a slim wooden knitting needle for lifting the loops, and an illustrated instruction booklet that walks through each step of French knitting. The kit measures 11cm long, 10cm wide and 4.5cm high and weighs just 49g, so it tucks easily into a bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's a gentle, absorbing make for a quiet evening on the sofa, a rainy afternoon at the table or a long train journey, and everything packs neatly back into its own box between sessions. French knitting is wonderfully simple: wrap the yarn around each peg, lift the lower loop over with the needle, give the mushroom a turn and repeat, and a soft round cord soon starts to appear from the bottom. We love how quickly the colours build up. Those cords can be coiled and stitched into coasters, tied into bookmarks or bag charms, or kept as bright lengths for wrapping presents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe spool knitter is made of wood with metal pegs, the needle is wood and the yarn is cotton, so the whole kit has a lovely tactile feel in the hand. Give the mushroom a wipe with a soft dry cloth now and then, and keep the yarn somewhere dry until you're ready to use it. Presented in its cheerful printed box, it makes a charming little present that's ready to open and start straight away.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRex London\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpool knitter: wood \u0026amp; metal; balls of yarn: cotton; knitting needle: wood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.049KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarnings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarning!
