octopus :: pillbug :: squid :: starfish :: inchworm :: hand-knit stuffed animals

Squids are astonishing dancers.  Get them on the dance floor and they'll shake and wriggle like nobody's business.  They tell really good jokes and are cunningly deceptive.  That time you thought a puddle was quicksand?  That was squids.

Each squid is knit by hand at a worker-owned cooperative in Ecuador.  They are made of 100% Peruvian wool.  Because they're handmade, each one is a little bit different.  They're about 13 inches tall "seated" and about 20 inches from head to tentacle-tip.  Because the eyes might come off with rough play, these toys are not intended for children under three.
