Bowls are worked with two strands of yarn held together. When selecting yarn for this project, keep in mind that cotton makes a soft and sturdy bowl, acrylic is a tad floppy alone, but works well when blended with other fibers, wool creates cozy texture, while blends such as alpaca, linen, or metallic fibers add unique depth and richness to your final project.

Perfectly sized to nestle inside each other, these five bowls contribute an organic warmth and softness to your decor. The flat bottom makes them very stable, without the wobble found in traditionally shaped fiber bowls.
