The orb-weaver is a common type of large garden spider found worldwide, some spectacularly colored and spiked, and all builders of spiral webs.

Orb-Weaver uses a self-striping yarn as a lazy person’s way of adding multiple colors, and has solid stripes of Shetland spiders and webs lace, ending in a spiky leaf edging. Try it in cheery pinks and greens for the huge spiders lurking in your springtime garden, casually massacring whatever blunders into their webs.
