Lenny Mud Vintage Applique Yarn Bowl

Folk embroidery, worked in glaze instead of thread. Big stylised blooms in raspberry, coral and saffron trail across the bowl between curling leaves, little berries and a butterfly, like a cushion cover from a 1970s craft magazine. The inside is glazed a glossy black, which makes the colours on the outside all the brighter. The design is printed on the front of the bowl only.

Handmade in Lenny Mud’s New Jersey studio from stoneware clay, fired twice to over 1,000°C. Roughly 15.9cm across and 8.9cm high, with a J shaped hook in the rim to feed your working yarn through. A yarn bowl keeps the ball from rolling off and tangling, and gives a project somewhere to sit between rows.
