MATERIALS AND TOOLS

• Main yarn – I used “Nubuk” by Kartopu (22% acrylic, 78% polyamide) that has 550 m in a 100g skein.
• 50 g of brown (for the main parts)
• 5 g of white (for the whites of the eyes)
• 5 g of beige (for the feathers)

Tip: You can use any moderately fluffy yarn (wool, acrylic, etc). The thicker the yarn, the bigger your toy will be.

• Two black beads or half beads for the pupils of the eyes – I used 10-14 mm in diameter.

• Stuffing.
• Adhesive fabric tape approximately 1 cm wide to wrap the wire ends.
• Strong thread for needle sculpting.
