Voici une série de tricotins inspirée de modèles anciens (hêtre et autres bois, décoration réalisée par ma femme). Les tricotins permettent de créer des cordons de laine, ils sont pour cela percés de part en part et équipés de quatre clous autour desquels on vient 'tisser' la laine. Ces poupées ont la faveur des enfants, petits et grands ...
Series of french knitting spools inspired from old ones (beech wood and others, painting by my wife).
French knitting (thanks to Derek for the translation of "Tricotin") consists in making cords by knitting wool around the four nails hammered on the top of the spool. These wooden dolls are much appreciated by young but also old children...

ils sont superbes !

Bravo c'est très joli, et cela rappelle l'enfance!!
