Inspired by abstract art – bold blocks of colour, thick paint application, sweeping brush strokes and beautiful textures – this hanging is fun to hook and sumptuous to view.

(Note: Only small amounts of yarn are needed so stash yarn will also work well. Hanging uses approximately 170g of yarn in total. Playing with the size of the fur stitch will also affect the amount of yarn used.)
* 5.5mm hook
* Dowling rod or stick, 50cm/20in long

Yarn Alternatives
Any aran-weight and chunky-weight wool or wool mix yarns will substitute here. Or try in different weights for hangings of differing sizes and textures.
