Finger Crochet | Knitting Yarn

An exciting assortment of beautifully thick and hunky wool yarn for the little ones learning to finger knit or finger crochet. Thicker than bulky or worsted weight, this yarn is wonderful for beginner finger knitters (as young as 5 years old) learning to make a cord. Divvy up the made in USA Burly Spun among the children by preparing several balls from one hank. Kindergarten teachers and parents can undo the finger knitted cords at the end of the day, wind the yarn back into balls and fill up the basket once again so every morning yarn is at the ready to be finger knitted anew. The organic plant-dyed yarn from Germany comes already wound into a ball in a four color assortment of soft, pastel colors.

Children come up with a variety of uses for their finger knitted cords ~ horsey reins, belts, garlands, crowns, lashing for play forts, string for making shapes, outlining creative play landscapes and much more. Cords can be sewn together in a spiral to make potholders, rugs, doll hats, hot plate pads, and table mats. Look for finger knitting instructions in the book Kids Knitting and A First Book of Knitting for Children as well as many places online.

Little ones learn best with rhymes and repetition. We love this little verse for learning to finger knit:

"In through the lake,
Pull out the snake!"
