I think I had a pink, white and purple one and I know I had yellow, white and brown because i still have the mini teddy I made with it.<br />There's also a yarn which has flecks in it and knits up to look like tweed. Excellent for dolls' skirts and jackets.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-28169824185541390212014-05-15T21:58:14.353+01:002014-05-15T21:58:14.353+01:00What a darling little bear!
