Bobble Sheep Pillow Bundle
With the softest yarn we could find and the perkiest, knobbiest texture we could create, our squishy, squeezy Bobble Sheep Pillow demands a hug! In either bulky Super Soft Merino or jumbo Gentle Giant, our Bobble Sheep Pillow Bundle has all the yarn you'll need to knit up your own sweet sheepy, big in size and spirit! Please click Product Details, above, for more information.
NOTE: For the Gentle Giant Bundles, the original color of the Contrast Yarn has been discontinued. We've replaced it with the slightly darker Kettle Black, still Flax Down. The photo of the Bobble Sheep here shows the original Toasted Charcoal color, but the yarn shown is the updated Kettle Black. Baa!
