Our Mushroom Knitting Spool comes a knitting needle and instructions.   You supply the yarn and the finger power!  This is a great way to make knitted ropes to use for jump ropes, horse reigns, and many other crafts.  It is fun for children to take left over yarn from a knitter they know and create something useful.  Mushroom measures 3-1/2" tall and 1-3/4" in diameter at widest point.  The hole that the knitting goes down through the mushroom in is 3/8" in diameter.  The knitting needle is 4" long.   Recommended for children over 5 years old with supervision.  Great gift for a 5-7 year old.  Made in Germany.
