Extra Yarn by Mac Barnett

Annabelle lives in a black-and-white world, where everything is drab and dull. So imagine her surprise when she finds a box filled with yarn of every color, and knitting needles. She makes herself a sweater, but after she finishes, she finds that she has extra yarn left over. After knitting a sweater for her dog, her classmates, and various bunnies and bears, she still has extra yarn. So, Annabelle turns her attention to things that don't usually wear wool cozies: houses and cars and mailboxes. Soon an evil archduke with a sinister mustache who is fond of clothes hears about the magic box of never-ending yarn, and he wants it for his own. He offers to buy the box, but Annabelle refuses. He steals it, but finds it contains no yarn at all, and with the help of just a bit more magic, it finds its way back to Annabelle.
