This delightful vase trio works up quickly and easily; perfect for adding a warm, sculptural touch to your decor.

Vases 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 fabric, 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 project.
