Yarn Balls with Heart Knitting Needles Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Three balls of yarn piled together with two knitting needles standing tall behind them and a little pink heart sitting on each needle tip. theres a soft blush pink ball at the front, a sage green ball tucked up top, and a bright aqua teal ball on the left, the wound yarn lines drawn on with sketchy directional curves so each sphere actually reads as wool not just a flat circle. A loose thread tail curls off the bottom right which gives the whole thing some movement.

5 colour stops and it runs through pink, sage, aqua, light grey for the needles, and black for the wrap-line detail and the trailing thread. Stitch range starts at 5,052 on the 3-inch hoop and climbs to 21,824 on the 8-inch hoop. Density is 347 which is moderate for the fill on the balls, the needle shafts are thin satin columns so dont skip the underlay if youre re-importing into a different programme. Ive built this in the digitising software and the wrap lines are sequenced inside-out so the sketchy lines sit on top of the ball fill not under it.

One customer Im thinking of ordered the 6-inch back in march for her aunts birthday, the aunt runs a small knitting circle out of a village hall and she stitched it on a canvas project bag with the group name appliqued underneath. Came back saying the whole group wanted one, so she ended up running a small batch on natural canvas totes. Best on light neutrals where the pink and aqua actually pop instead of muddying.

Pop this on canvas project bags, knitting needle rolls, craft-room cushions, a tote for hauling wips around, or a sweatshirt left chest if youre a yarn enthusiast. Skip dark fabrics, the soft pastel fills lose contrast against navy or black. Use medium tearaway under cotton and add a thin layer of water-soluble topping over the needle satin to keep the thin shafts from sinking. Hoop with the design centred, the lopsided ball cluster looks deliberate that way.
