What is "Beaded Sheep"?
This piece is a crocheted brooch that was the subject of a workshop with Michiyo Sensei in 2024.
After that, we received many requests to sell the kits online, so in December 2025, we started selling the kits at the Ronique Store.
About the work and kit
In search of the simple warmth inherent in sheep
This piece is made from a seemingly simple combination of thread and beads.
What I realized through repeated trial and error was how big a difference there is in the texture depending on the yarn used.
The smooth thread that allows the beads to glide through smoothly is easy to work with, but it is difficult to create the rustic texture that is characteristic of sheep.
On the other hand, if the nap is too deep or too rough, it will not balance well with the beads.
For the kit, we chose Lithuanian wool yarn, which retains a natural texture so that when you actually knit and hold the finished product in your hands, you will be able to evoke the simple warmth of the sheep itself.
The gentle brushed finish is subtle and coexists with the presence of the beads.
In addition, in order to make the bead threading step and bead knitting feel easy, it is essential that the yarn is of ``moderate hardness.''
Because it is wool, the thread will not split, allowing you to concentrate on the movement of your hands as you weave the beads in one stitch at a time.

Stress-free design that lets you focus at a glance
The "Beaded Sheep" uses two colors of yarn.
When changing the color of the yarn, you will need to splice the yarn, but other than that, there is no process of attaching yarn and knitting.
When you knit by applying yarn only in parts, loose ends of yarn will be produced here and there.
The more thread ends there are, the more work it takes and the more it hinders smooth progress.
The beaded sheep is a small piece, and because it involves the process of weaving beads in, it is designed to minimize the generation of loose threads that can interfere with the comfort of knitting.

A video guide explaining the entire process to convey the "standards"
This piece is shaped like a sheep using basic crochet stitches.
That's why every stitch has meaning.
We have prepared a video that explains the entire process so that even those who are unfamiliar with bead knitting can see how to actually knit all the stitches.
This video is not intended to aim for a perfect finished product or stitches, but rather to convey the knitting standards that result in this piece, without leaving anything out.
We hope that you will use these reference explanations to create a one-of-a-kind beaded sheep that you will love.
