A Comfy Candy Cane Christmas 2019 Part 3

A Comfy Candy Cane Christmas 2019 Part 3

The Candy Cane is Dry so I can start adding the Yarn. I haven’t taken dozens of photographs of this as it would be extremely tedious. The process involved winding White and Red Yarn over the Cane at a slant and Gluing as I went.

Candy Cane Hook End













I am putting extra Yarn near the Hook end as that is where the Hand will be resting. However I have hit a snag. No matter how many times I have done this the Tip will just fall off.

Sew Single Yarn Thread








This is a bit of a nightmare. Since it is full of Foam the Needle will simply not go through with the Yarn. Therefore I have had to Unply the yarn until I have a Single Thread.

This I then Thread through the Needle and sew into the Foam. I have to do this Four times.

Candy Cane Bottom


















Since my hands were aching from fighting with the Hook I switched to the Bottom. The Yarn was beginning to come away so I had to Re-Glue. You can just see the loose Yarn Threads at the top of the above photograph.

Hook Plied Yarn


















Now all Four Threads were through I could Re-Ply them and pull through. This took some considerable force. However once this was secured the Yarn stayed put whilst I wound and Glued it.

Candy Cane Complete
 

















The Candy Cane is now Complete. Once it is Dry it will be ready for Wrapping.
