A
thousand year old
craft from Japan,
Temari (thread ball)
is a toy ball, and
is traditionally
given as a gift. The
puzzle of the design
is mesmerizing, but
the concept is
elegantly simple.
Temari opens up a
whole new range of
territory for
stitchers to
explore. Stitches
can go in any
direction because of
the random wrapped
thread surface of
the ball. You'll
learn how to make
Temari using a kit
