Pearl Story

Item #5187

(April, 1992) In the Thimble family’s home there are two warm afghans folded over the couch. That’s because Thimblena knit one, and Pearl, too. Pearl is Darn’s mother, mother-in-law to Thimblena, and doting grandma to Bobbin and Mendy. She and her husband Yarn love to spoil the grandkids. She sits on a ball of yarn, wearing a thimble hat, knitting a new sweater or scarf for someone she loves. She wears pearl earrings and a pearl necklace like First Lady Barbara Bush, another loving grandmother. Her coin is a “Groschen from Austria, with a large number 2 on it. The coin is for Pearl, too!
