Complete kit to crochet three greek or roman amphorae in eco-friendly materials.

This makes a really unusual gift for a crocheter, or for the ancient history lover in your life.

The beautifully-presented kit contains everything you need to make three different amphorae in a smart, reusable box:

  • 27-page fully-illustrated pattern printed on recycled paper
  • organic cotton yarn
  • up-cycled fabric (will vary)
  • 100% natural sheep’s wool for stuffing
  • sewing thread
  • 3.5mm bamboo crochet hook (optional)
  • blunt-tipped yarn needle
  • sharp sewing needle

The pattern is worked with a 3.5mm (US: E-4) crochet hook (or the size needed to make a compact crochet fabric with the given yarn). I offer a lovely bamboo crochet hook by Pony if you don’t have any or are giving the kit as a gift.

The fabric is up-cycled from off-cuts donated to me, often from vintage fabrics, and will vary in pattern but will always complement the yarn. I will never buy new fabric to supplement these kits. The wool stuffing is a natural product and comes in a variety of sheepy colours. It is scoured, clean and carded, but may include the odd tiny bit of straw or leaf.

The finished amphorae measure approximately 8.5 to 12cm (3⅜ inches to 4¾ inches).

🟨 This kit requires an intermediate level of crochet skill.

  • box – 70% recycled, reusable and recyclable.
  • ball bands, box labels – 100% recycled paper, recyclable.
  • pattern – 100% recycled paper, recyclable.
  • tissue – 100% recycled, recyclable.
  • business cards, tags, etc – handmade from greeting cards, cereal packets, etc, recyclable.

Customising Your Kit

Choose whether to include the lovely bamboo crochet hook in the size required as part of the kit.

Choose whether you’d prefer the UK or US crochet version of the pattern – if you’re not sure, please contact me and I’ll help you choose.

Choose whether you would prefer your pattern printed on 100% recycled paper and included in the kit, or e-mailed to you as a digital file (PDF) for use on your mobile, tablet, e-reader, etc.

Gift Options

If you’d like this item sent directly to someone else as a gift, that’s no problem, just choose this option when checking out and I will remove price details from the package. You can also include a gift message at checkout for free.
