Wishing Star Shawl - Yarn Set

The Wishing Star Shawl was designed by Helen Stewart of Curious Handmade in support of our 2024 Knit for the Girls breast cancer research fundraiser.

The Wishing Star Shawl pattern was designed using one skein of Louie & Lola Yarns Merino Nylon Sock in our 2024 KFTG fundraiser colourway.

The pattern is available for separate purchase in the Curious Handmade Ravelry store here.

Being a single skein shawl, the kit includes 1 x skein of Louie & Lola Yarns Merino Nylon Sock in the '2024 KFTG' colourway.

Please note the pattern is not included, but available

It is important you swatch and achieve the pattern gauge, as this will affect yarn usage.  Likewise, any pattern modifications will affect yarn usage.  Should you wish to purchase an additional skein/s to enable pattern modifications please don't hesitate to Contact Us.

Hand-dyed in small batches in Tasmania.

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 knitting. You can do that yourself or have it done by us using our Cake Your Yarn service.

Hand wash only as this kit features non-superwash yarn.

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 and not tumble drying.
