Polar Pom-Pom Project

Have you heard about the Polor Pom-Pom Project? It’s a great art instillation that Deborah Hamon is working on using yarn pom-poms from eco-friendly yarns in the Arctic Circle!

She will be traveling on a traditionally rigged tall-ship to Svalbard this fall, a mountainous Arctic archipelago just 10 degrees from the North Pole.

Deborah is working with school children in California and New Jersey to make pom-poms that will be a part of an instillation that addresses climate change. She already has over 700 pom-poms made! Her goal is 2,000.

You can read more about Deborah and her journey on her kick-starter page. She is also looking for pom-pom donations. Pom-poms must be made from eco-friendly yarns (our Verde Collection would be perfect) in arctic colors (cream, white, pale blue, aqua, etc.). For more information, please contact Deborah at contact@deborahhamon.com. 

Prius Sweater-We're taking over!

Its only a matter of time...I absolutely love this video, a sweater knit and crocheted in pieces to cover a Prius! Almost like a yarn-bombing, but without the element of surprise. Wouldn't it be fun to organize your own knit-out?



Did you spot the chihuahua in the tiny sweater?
