Description
Knit your own giant deer head! in 2013, I was commissioned by Boden to create a set of faux taxidermy heads & my deer head was part of the original set. The shade of yarn I was using in the knitting kits was discontinued & the deer had to take a break from the spotlight, but now I've finally found the perfect replacement yarn! Rico's Creative Chunky Twist is a beautiful blend of acrylic & alpaca, giving the new giant deer head a wonderful texture. The twist of the yarn has white strands of alpaca running through it, which I think look a little bit like snowdrops! You can now choose which colour of nose you'd like for your deer, in case you want to make yours a red-nosed reindeer. See my other listing for the mini deer head knitting kit, to knit one to keep this one company.
