Max's bedroom then transforms into a jungle environment, and he winds up sailing to an island inhabited by monsters, called the Wild Things. The Wild Things try to scare Max, but much to their surprise are not successful. Max becomes the king of the Wild Things once he has intimidated them and he enjoys a playful romp with his subjects. Finally, Max stops the game and sends them to bed without their supper. However, to the Wild Things' dismay, he starts to feel lonely and decides to abdicate and return home. The monsters do not want Max to go, and they throw themselves into fits of rage as he calmly sails home. Upon returning to his bedroom, Max discovers a hot supper waiting for him.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur suggested pairings for August include\u003c\/strong\u003e Secret Agent, Chili Pepper Chocolate, Lodgepole Pine, and Into Deep Water.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e100% Superwash Merino DK \/ Light Worsted Weight\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e200 meters \/ 220 yards per 100 gram \/ 3.5 oz skein\u003cbr\u003eGauge: 21 - 24 sts \/ 4 inches (10 cm) US 5 - 7 or 4.0 - 4.5 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eWhile we make every effort to represent colour accurately, they may vary slightly when viewed on different monitors.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ancient Arts Yarns","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41545263939642,"sku":"COTM0826-MERDK","price":32.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0054\/1432\/2245\/files\/9e7bb8a5-9df0-bfa5-ddd0-d84d29f5a1e9_67d4d806-bcf3-4cde-90ad-1d3ccbdab906.jpg?v=1784641385","url":"https:\/\/ancientartsfibre.com\/products\/where-the-wild-things-are-colour-of-the-month-non-subscription-option-august-2026-merino-dk-light-worsted","provider":"Ancient Arts Yarns","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
