Chicago Mothman
$24.00Ahead of YarnCon 2025, we're bringing you Chicago Mothman, a variant of our classic Mothman yarn!
In 2021, there were purportedly five sightings of some kind of winged humanoid figure flying above people around Lake Michigan. Could it be a Sandhill Crane? Maybe! Is that the fun answer? You know it's not! The creature was even spotted by a veteran postal worker at the O'Hare International Airport. The Chicago Mothman has been described as seven feet tall, red eyed, and what appeared to be a coat was actually a huge wing span. It also screeches as it flies over people!
Our Chicago Mothman is right on the border of charcoal grey and slate blue, and finished with black speckles.
