you will need:
Flesh tone DK – I used Sirdar
Lavender DK – I used Stylecraft special
Silver sparkly DK – I used James BrettTwinkle – a darker purple would look good too
Lilac fur type yarn, this was something that I had in my workbag, think it came from China – any faux fur / eyelash yarn will do. Silver grey would work well also
Small amount of Purple 4ply – I used Drops I love you in purple
Small amount of green for the stems – Drops Alpaca
Miniscule amount of yellow, black & white mohair – lace weight yarn for bee
1 tiny pompom from Poundland
toy stuffing;
circle of muslin; I used a Liz Earle cleanse & polish cloth; an old T-shirt will work fine.
