Get ready to embrace the beauty of nature with the Sierra Nevada Shawl Kit! Designed by Ksenia Naidyon, this kit brings the majestic summits, peaceful valleys, and flowing streams of the Sierra Nevada right into your knitting project. Worked at a loose gauge with two skeins of fingering - weight yarn, this wrap is the perfect light and airy addition to your summer wardrobe. It's a one - size wonder! You can find the pattern on the designer's Ravelry page. The finished shawl measures 87.5'/ 30'. You'll need US Size 8 (5 mm) 32' circulars, which aren't included. We also recommend having scissors, a piece of cardboard for tassels, and a tapestry needle on hand. The shawl shown is made with Squish Fingering from Framer's Daughter Fibers in the colors I - Kiinuttsi and Theresa. For your project, we suggest Tosh Merino Light in Frontier Stars and Urth Uneek Fingering in color 3027, with 1 skein of each yarn required.

Using this shawl kit is a breeze. First, grab your US Size 8 (5 mm) 32' circulars and the recommended notions like scissors, a piece of cardboard for tassels, and a tapestry needle. Head over to the designer's Ravelry page to get the pattern. Start knitting following the pattern instructions using the two skeins of fingering - weight yarn provided. When it comes to the tassels, use the cardboard to make them look neat. As for maintenance, it's best to hand - wash your shawl in cool water with a gentle wool detergent. Lay it flat to dry to keep its shape. Avoid wringing or twisting the shawl as it can damage the fibers. And when not in use, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
