Pumpkin Jack

The tradition of carving faces into vegetables dates to the Celts. As part of their autumnal celebration, they wanted to light the way to their homes for the good spirits, so they carved faces into vegetables such as turnips and squash. A light was placed within the hollowed out vegetable.

These carved vegetables were eventually called Jack O’Lanterns by the Irish who told a legend about a farmer named Jack who made a bargain with the devil that left him wandering the earth for all time.

When the immigrants arrived in America and found a bountiful supply of pumpkins, they soon adopted the pumpkin as the best fruit (and it is a fruit!) for carving Jack O’Lanterns.

In celebration of this Home Farm have created our very own pumpkin to celebrate and decorate the month of October.

50g (1.76oz) of Home Farm Wensleydales Big Bulky wool in Tangerine (enough to knit one pumpkin Jack)

A length of amber wool for the stalk.

2 plastic wobbly eyes (not recommended for small children - we would recommend you sewing eyes on your pumpkin for little ones).

Noil to stuff your pumpkin

Pattern with clear instructions to complete your kit.


YOU WILL NEED: 5.5mm (US 9) knitting needles, 4mm (US 6) DPN's and tapestry needle.

SKILL LEVEL: Easy.

HOW MINE CAME OUT: Pumpkin Jack measures        

COLOUR CHOICES: Its got to be Tangerine really!

LAUNDRY CARE:  Handwash, plump up and dry flat.  Unless you have a new machine with a clever pure wool cycle.   

 

Packaging

Wherever possible we will use paper packaging

However, Europe, US, Canada and Rest of World, it is not always possible to use paper due to the soft contents of the package.  If this is the case, we use 90 micron polythene mailbags.  Recycling guide: LDPE 4 (Low density polyethylene).

Low-density polyethylene, or LDPE, is number 4-coded plastic, commonly used to manufacture shopping bags, dry cleaning bags and flexible bottles and lids.  Although not as commonly recycled as number 1 polyethylene terephthalate or number 2 high-density polyethylene, LDPE recycling is gaining traction as its post-consumer uses increase. One use is combining recycled LDPE with wood to create composite lumber suitable for light applications. All these plastics can be recycled into different products, but of the three, LDPE results in the most greenhouse gas savings when it's recycled.  

But please - do not put number 4 LDPE plastic into a recycling bin unless you are sure it is accepted. Otherwise, you could contaminate an entire batch of recycled plastic.
