and now, Lush Benders! :)




...i'm super excited to present my version of hand spun yarns spun directly onto wire, Lush Benders!

totally moldable mini art yarns that have whimsical themes and artful inclusions :)

perfect little bundles at 9 feet in length to add a delightful handspun element to your crafting project :)






i'm hoping that they will inspire you to take art yarns to the next level and sculpt them into your own masterpiece!

use them as garland, trim, any sort of embellishment :)

bend them... cut and glue them... even crochet or knit with them! add some whimsy to your table top, your window treatments, or your powder room :)






just my way of exploring the things i love to combine: color, texture, and function, and a whole lot of lush yumminess :)

they will be individually listed in the shop and then offered as custom orders...

new styles will be added throughout the seasons with custom requests delightfully taken :)

  3. Ohhh - you beat me to it! I was totally going to do something like this for my shop but your photography is FAR better than mine would have been. I sold my wire yarn at a craft show to someone who was going to decorate with it so I've been meaning to do more. Alas, I haven't :)
