I Love This time of year with all the Fall Colors,

So Many beautiful colors and shades.
I like to make a new pumpkin every year to add
 to my pumpkin collection, and this years
 pumpkin is  gorgeous.


The Classy Autumn pumpkin is Stitched up 
with Premier Yarn COLORFUSION, 
in the Autumn Sky color way. It is a soft and 
 smooth bulky (5) acrylic yarn.


MY FAVORITE CHUNKY 5 YARN!

 $4.99 a Ball
There are 15 colorways to choose from.

I had plans to stitch up a stuffed pumpkin in a
 different yarn, and than I remembered I has another
 skein in the Autumn Sky colorway. 
I am so happy with how this classy pumpkin 
stitched up.
