YARN REQUIREMENTS
Colours given are those used in the sample. Feel free to get creative with your own colour choices to match in with your Christmas decor.

Or other 8ply/DK weight yarn of your choice.

Nose & Eyes: Oddment of 4ply yarn, approx. 60cm per mouse

Note: Nose & eyes are worked in 4ply yarn. The drop in yarn weight gives a delicate pointed nose and makes embroidering the eyes easier.
