Average Retail Price: $9.00CAN ($7.00US)

Purl/PEARL is a new friend for Thimbelina: The Needlework Fairy

DESIGN DETAILS... From her ROWCOUNTER/HAT to the BALL OF 'FAIRY SOFT' YARN that she’s sitting upon, Purl/PEARL presents a number of elements that are familiar to knitters everywhere. In her left hand, she’s holding a KNITTING NEEDLE. She has a STITCH-HOLDER, BEAD-HEADED PIN and LARGE-EYED NEEDLE close at hand (stuck into her ‘Fairy Soft‘ yarn cushion). In her right hand, Purl/PEARL’s holding a RULER that’s partially covered by the magical swirls that spill from the tip of her knitting needle/wand.
