Merry Crochetmas!

For three days only, we are auctioning a very unique, very primitive snowman! Sue Aucoin hand crocheted this snowman out of 100% spun wool, and then put him through a process know as felting, fulling and or boiling wool. This process shrinks the piece giving it a more solid, thicker effect. SNoWMaN is 18" tall from the top of his hat to the tips of his toes and he is thread jointed in his arm and legs. He doesn't just hang from wire on his back, he'll also sit. His face is embroidery.. and a little shading added for detail. His hat is stitched on. He wears a fabric collar. SNoWMaN brings with him his Christmas tree and WiSH sign. He has been made to look passed down. This quality-made, unique item is a perfect addition to any primitive décor, which we hope will be treasured for years to come. Hurry before he's gone! Merry Christmas and thanks for your consideration! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=281228806906

Winter in the Works.

We can't help but still be hung-up on Autumn, soaking in the comforting aromas and inspiring colors. But, we have managed to make time preparing for winter and getting in the mode for everything Christmasy and cheerful.

This is a peek of the types of wearables you can expect from Thread Bears® this upcoming winter season. Chunky or aran knits, multitudes of cables, and cheerful colors are in the works! Rhonda Potteet had made this Pomegranate-hued, Pompom Cabled Cap for her daughter to get into Winter-mode.

We'll keep you posted for when you can expect knits like these, along with festive home décor and one of a kind thread crocheted bears from Thread Bears®. If you would like to view Rhonda's other Autumn creations, you may do so here.

All about Autumn.

To us, Autumn is all about pumpkins, spicy colors, warm beverages, and cozy knits. Sue Aucoin's newest PRiMiTeDs bear encompasses everything that we believe this season has to offer.

Please meet CHai-T with his creamy, pumpkin pin cushion! 

 

This small bear (5" tall) is fully jointed and fulled/ felted from 100% wool and slightly weighted. His chai-colored fur was hand-dyed and shaded for a more unique look. He even has a hand-embroidered face. He is keeping the chill away with his cable knit, cinnamon stick-hued scarf, which was handmade from acrylic by Rhonda Potteet. His scarf is pinned on so it doesn't blow away in the Autumn breeze!  He comes with his own slightly-weighted, cream-colored pumpkin pin cushion that is 3" in diameter and has the rustic letters of "fall" stitched to it. CHai-T is pinned/posed atop his pumpkin. This bear has been made to look passed down -- A perfect addition to any primitive collection!
