      Step 1: Starting on prong at the 6 o’clock position, take yarn up to left side of prong at the 12 o’clock position and wrap around from left to right. Go back down to the 6 o’clock position and wrap from right to left. Repeat with a left-to-right wrap at 1 o’clock and a right-to-left wrap at 7 o’clock. Continue working clockwise around prongs until they are all covered. A few projects call for multiple wraps. Refer to project instructions for appropriate number, and repeat as required.

      Step 2: Leave a tail of about 60cm, then cut yarn. Using needle provided with loom, take tail and stitch into centre of flower, then come up between petals 11 and 12 o’clock. Stitch back into the centre, then come up between petals 12 and 1 o’clock.

      Dissapointed is the only word to say. Ever since this was in your magazine I have tried to purchased this item not only from Spotlight but any Craft shop. I live at least 1hour from a Spotlight Shop. Oh I can leave my name but can't pay for it to ensure I get it. Now have been informed that Spotlight will not be reordering them. I intend to send this to Spotlight as well. Not happy
