This lovely Spring Wreath is made with Off the Hook yarn by Lion Brand Yarn. Off the Hook yarn is a super plush chenille yarn spun with sturdy loops that resemble stitches. By pulling one loop through another you can create a number of knitting projects (see the video below).
Sarah from our Design Team used this plush yarn to create a Spring Wreath that evokes a bird’s nest, so why not include a birdhouse? So adorable! This will make a great spring decor for your entryway or mantle. And it is so easy. Just wrap the looped yarn around the wreath. All supplies are available at Craft Warehouse.
