You will need the following materials for this class:

  • Monk's cloth (24 by 24 will create three ears of corn comfortably; minimum size piece of Monks cloth is 13 by 13 for one ear of corn)
  • Rug weight yarn- one 4 oz skein (Violet Jane has amazing colors and you will get one ear of corn from this amount with a little bit left over)
  • OR Fine Yarn- one 4 oz skein (Violet Jane has some amazing colors and you will get one ear of corn with enough to start a second)
  • Wine Cork for the 'cob'
  • Husk (Raffia Ribbon, dried corn husks, or tamale wrappers found on Amazon or in the grocery store work well!)
  • Stuffing material: This can be yarn scraps, wool stuffing, polyester stuffing (the ears of corn are stuffed firmly, so a couple of oz may be needed)
  • Glue (such as Aleene's Tacky Glue) for closing the end of the corn with the cork and attaching the husks.
You will also need the following tools:
  • #10 Regular Point Oxford Punch Needle if using Rug Yarn- gives a very realistic corn look
  • OR # 10 Fine Point Oxford Punch Needle if using fine yarn- gives a smoother corn effect
  • Optional #9 Fine or Regular Point Oxford Punch Needle (Optional but helpful to disguise the joining seam on the cob)
  • Gripper frame - 18 by 18 is ideal for a 24 by 24 monk’s cloth, minimum recommended size is 14” by 14” for one ear of corn
  • Bent Handle Scissors or sharp pointed scissors to clip yarn
  • A light source (light table or window), masking tape, and a sharpie or pencil for tracing your pattern onto monk's cloth
  • Needle and Thread (Tapestry Needle and upholstery, heavy-duty, or two strands of Monks cloth work well)
  • Stuffing tool: This can be a chop stick, pencil with eraser or a long blunt, ended item.
