Franklin Habit Dolores #11 Harry Bollasockyarn Kit by Franklin Habit

Every Holmes needs a Watson; every Wilma, a Betty; every Calamity, a Jane. Dolores is a dreamer, and she dreams big. But even she can’t do it all on her own—and so there’s Harry. Harry was just an innocent ball of yarn when he rolled into Dolores’ orbit. And he’s still pretty innocent, even after having been roped into serving over the years as a tour band roadie, a cabaret back-up dancer, a theatrical protegée, and even a lure for the Queen of England’s corgies. He faces every challenge with optimism and an open heart...and somehow always comes out on top. His poetry, his thoughts on life, and his ongoing search for the Yarn Pixies are shared with the world through his Twitter feed, @yarnpoetharry.

Bring a little of this optimism into your own life with our Harry Bollasockyarn doll kit. It includes everything you need to make him and his wardrobe except a bit of polyfill stuffing and the suggested (but optional) weights to keep him popping up again after life knocks him down. There’s a wardrobe of four custom ball bands (including everyday, formal, Hawaiian, and winter looks); and patterns for a bow tie, stylish scarf, and his poet’s ensemble of turtleneck and beret. Note: Harry Bollasockyarn Kit does not include Dolores doll. Buy the knitting kit to make your own Dolores doll here.
