Bunnies!
 
 
Below are 7 photos of bunnies using different yarns, weights, colors and textures.
 
 
 
PHOTO ONE:  These bunnies used 2 strands of Frog Tree Alpaca sport weight yarn carried together, creating a worsted weight. Frog Tree has dozens of colors to choose from. Brushing the bunny's wool with a toothbrush after felting fluffs up the fibers creating a soft, fuzzy bunny!

PHOTO TWO:  This bunny below used Jo Sharp DK weight yarn, #355 Paris, and Rowan Kidsilk Haze, #640 Glacier. The Kidsilk Haze adds softness as well as a slight sheen to the bunny. Adding color to the bunnies opens up a whole new avenue of creativity!

PHOTO THREE:  The little bunny on the left (below), used one strand of Nature Spun worsted weight Aran and a strand of Frog Tree Brushed Suri Cream carried together. This bunny was knit on size 10-1/2 double point needles. The larger bunny was knit using 2 strands of the Nature Spun worsted Aran and 1 strand of Frog Tree Brushed Suri on size 13 double point needles. Makes for a beautiful Mother-Daughter photo opportunity!

PHOTO FOUR:  The bunny below is laying down to show off its paws. To create these paws, I took a pinch of pink wool roving, very little. Then I rolled it into a tiny ball. With an all-purpose felting needle, I poked the dot onto the bottom of the bunny's paws, just under the embroidered paw lines. Just another whimsical detail!

PHOTO FIVE:  The bunny below, uses two yarns carried together: Nature Spun worsted weight yarn, #N-91 Aran, and Trendsetter Yarns Aura, #82 Pearl. It is a hard bunny to photograph, but it sure is cute. Tye a silk ribbon around its neck to add a touch of elegance.

PHOTO SIX: Lamb's Pride worsted, #M183 Rosado Rose. I needle felted pink roving into dots all over the bunny's body. I then embroidered french knots into the center of each polka dot adding further whimsey.
