For the Pompom Sheep

Yarn, felt, tailors chalk, scissors and googly eyes or embroidery thread if required.

If you’re using a pompom maker, you will want the 2.5″/65mm set.

Any superchunky yarn will work, however you should bear in mind that Daisy Chain is a slub yarn, with pieces of lace and strips of material attached to it, causing it to knit to a larger tension than most standard superchunky yarns. Try knitting with a strand of one and a strand of dk if your having difficulty matching the tension up.
