We couldn't help but put some kits together for Olga Buraya-Kefelian's (olgajazzyknits) beautiful PLUS shawl! With amazing graphic design features and a beautiful fade in the background we're absolutely in love.
Our kits include combinations of Spincycle Dyed in the Wool with either Walcot Yarns Opus or Life in the Long Grass Merino Sport. The original pattern calls for Spincycle Dyed in the Wool as the main colour (background) and the solid colour as the contrast colour but you can also reverse this combo and have the background as a solid colour and the Dyed in the Wool as the contrast so we've also included all of our kits in reverse combos as well (this is indicated by "Reverse" in the kit name).
