Kit Option

We are pleased to offer Louie & Lola Sol Shawl MKAL Kits for Ambah O'Brien’s  Sol Shawl.

This year Ambah's KAL features the Sol Shawl MKAL, a mystery knit-along where the design unfolds over three weekly clues. You can choose between DK or fingering weight yarn, offering plenty of opportunities to experiment with colour.

When designing this piece, Ambah imagined sitting by a fire - perhaps a Summer campfire in the Northern Hemisphere or a cosy hearth during the Southern Hemisphere winter - with an engaging knitting project to savor. The resulting shawl is versatile for any season, whether worn around the shoulders or as a kerchief on your next adventure.

You can purchase the Sol Shawl MKAL pattern in Ambah's Ravelry store here.

Treat yourself to one of our Louie & Lola Sol Shawl MKAL kits in luxurious Merino Silk Yak Fingering yarn kit options.

The techniques are suitable for an advanced beginner, with video tutorials to accompany each clue.

Tips for working with Hand Dyed Yarns
  • The beauty and nature of hand dyed yarn is that every skein is unique and individual. Even within the same dye batch variations between skeins can occur.
  • We therefore recommend alternating skeins within your projects to ensure an optimal finish and colour blending.
  • Please also ensure you buy enough yarn for your project at the time of purchase, as colours can vary between dye batches.
  • Our yarns come twisted in a skein and will need to be wound into a cake before use. You can do that yourself or have it done by us using our Cake Your Yarn service.
Care Instructions

Hand wash only as this yarn should be treated like a non-superwash yarn base.

  • Our hand dyed yarns have been washed to remove excess dye, however some residual dye may remain, particularly in dark and saturated colourways. 
  • It is recommended to gently hand wash your hand dyed projects in cold water.
  • Wool wash or a mild detergent may be used.
  • We recommend blocking and drying garments flat in the shade and not tumble drying.
