Calypso the Frizzle Chicken


£30.00
Designed especially for TOFT's 2024 Easter Egg hunt, Calypso the Frizzle Chicken combines five magnificent natural colours of TOFT yarn to produce an elegant and whimsical new addition to the menagerie. A favourite among chicken lovers, these unique and beautiful birds are produced as a result of an incomplete dominant gene that causes their feathers to twist and curl up from their bodies, rather than lying flat – also known as 'frizzling'. Full of interesting techniques, this pattern is still broken down into the days so you can choose to take part at a time that suits you and your group of friends and view all the daily step-by-step videos on Instagram by following @toft_uk.
