Yarn-wrapped Obsession.

It's official -- I am obsessed with anything that's wrapped in yarn.

It all started back in October when we were in San Francisco and I came across the Yarbie Bangle Boutique.  They have gorgeous bangles wrapped in cashmere, silk, tweed, etc.


I ended up getting this variety, but plan to add some additional ones to my Christmas list.


Since then, I have been seeing all kinds of yarn-wrapped things that I am loving.  Like this wreath from take heart (found via Nuestra Vida Dulce).

These letters from Let Birds Fly (found via A Thoughtful Place).

These fun twine-wrapped trees:


And last but not least, yarn-wrapped frames from Centsational Girl.


I see a trip to the yarn section of Hobby Lobby in my near future!

  2. OOOH! Thank you for the idea! I'm working on my gallery wall right now, and I have a very plain Jane letter C I'm putting up, and I was contemplating gluing some fabric to it, but I think there will be some yarn on it now. (I also screwed up painting one of the frames...maybe I can save it with yarn :-)

  3. I share the same obsession :) I covered some syrofoam balls with pretty moss green yarn the other day. I have no idea what I will do with them now though!

    I'll have Mr. Sugarplum take his objections up with you!
