【轻松英文阅读】迷你手工编织动物

 If you have small children in the house you know how stuffed animals can gradually take over. Well, that’s not a problem with these incredibly tiny, incredibly cute crocheted¹ animals from a family business based in Vietnam. Most of the items in their collection are no bigger than a fingernail, so finding a place to keep them will not be an issue.

The business got its name, ‘Su Ami,’ from the family’s youngest member. In all, there are five artists in the family creating the cute animals. And they truly are artists. As you can see, each item has very intricate detail. How they manage to knit such small pieces is amazing and is certainly something that cannot be mass-produced.

Best of all, you can purchase them at their website. (Link here!) Prices start from around $20 and go up to as much as $200. Among the items in their collection you can find many characters like Winnie the Pooh or Piglet, various breeds of dogs, and all sorts of animals from snails² to polar bears. They are adding to their collection every month, so you might want to check back from time to time.

 

It appears they ship worldwide and I am pretty sure your shipping³ charges will not be so high.
