Field notes
The workspace offers construction choices including rounded forms, hollow forms, flat fabric, and leaves or petals, with controls for dimensions, taper, fullness, and orientation. Users can connect pieces by choosing anchor points and optionally snapping them together. Yarnshape says it uses single crochet (UK double crochet) and advises making a sample to check shape, size, and assembly; its previews are schematic, not photographs of finished objects.
