Pochi, Yuki, Nori and Dijon

Four new  little frogs will be uploaded into my  Etsy shop on Tuesday 9th August at 19h00 BST

Two strands of quality yarn held throughout the knit,  one being a fingering or 4 ply weight and the other a fine strand of Mohair silk from Nurturing Fibres.

Safety eyes have been used.

Pochi, Yuki and Dijon have wire in their limbs so can be posed in various positions.

Litte Nori  has no wire in his limbs  so is softer

The difference in prices of the frogs depends on the hours spent in creation.  

  •  Fitting internal wires into the limbs is fiddly and incredibly time consuming.  
  • whether a sweater has been included or not.
  • whether embroidered features have been added to enhance the look
Here is a sneak peak of what is coming soon to  my Etsy shop   


1.     POCHI

 Pochi is a generic name for a dog in Japan, just like our English stereotypical dog name of Spot .  I think it suits this spotty, warty frog perfectly.

2.   YUKI

Yuki can mean happiness, good fortune or a blessing.  
Yuki is a real yogi frog, wired with strong wire in his limbs to enable him to practice his yoga asanas.  Not as soft as the other frogs due to his strong wiring.







SOLD OUT


3.  NORI

Nori is a seaweed green colour hence his name.  He is unwired and super soft and cuddly.


4.  DIJON

this little mustard coloured frog is quirky and cute
