Posted in Crochet, Days Out, Yarn Show by

I’m beyond excited to finally introduce Hamish the Highland Cow – the latest, cuddly, tuft-haired friend in the Dear Ewe character collection!

We first launched Hamish at the Stafford Wool Gathering at the end of October, and wow – you absolutely loved him. So much so, we sold out at the show! After a quick restock, he has continued to sell out at every show and pop-up since. We are absolutely thrilled by how much love and enthusiasm you’ve shown for Hamish, and we’ve managed to get a restock through before Christmas so we’ve got some available for you.❤️

Hamish isn’t just a crochet project, he’s a little bundle of Highland charm, ready to bring warmth and whimsy into your home, your craft room, or to delight a friend as a handmade gift.
