Loading... Please wait...Our Calla Lily pattern makes a felted flower as big as the real thing. It's knit first, starting at the i-cord stem, then felted. A florist wire is run through the stem so that the flowers stand up.
Yarn: 100% wool, worsted weight :120 yards in a darker green for the leaf and stem, and 10 yards each of a lighter green and a pale green, 60 yards cream and 5 yards of yellow
Needles: Size 10 double point needles, a spare pair of long straight needles (size 10 or smaller), a stitch holder and a yarn needle.
Additional Materials: For the stem and leaf, you’ll need two 18 gauge, 18” florist wires and about 4 feet of ¼” synthetic ribbon to thread through the leaf and flower stems prior to felting. This ensures the stems won’t fuse to themselves as they shrink.
Finished Sizes: In two sizes, large and small. The finished flowers are 15 – 18” long.
Level: Advanced beginner
