Whether as a little thank-you, for a special occasion, or just because: this special gift is created in no time. All you need are flowers of your choice and balls of yarn in your favorite color. Our yarn recommendation for a wool bouquet is our small Eco Cotton balls. They fit perfectly between the flowers and, with their elegant color palette and many pastel shades, create a harmonious bouquet. If you prefer to add bold yarns between the flowers, you can of course use the Gründl bestseller yarn Cotton Quick uni. Or how about brightly patterned sock yarns? The important thing is that the person receiving the gift is happy about the Gründl yarn. Ball by ball, the yarn is then placed on long knitting needles and arranged together with the flowers as a bouquet. Et voila: why not try this DIY gift idea yourself right away? One thing we can promise you: it will make hearts beat faster.
