Yara Shawl Kit
Inspired by the beautiful textiles Morocco is famous for, Yara is an absolute feast of texture and color. The tweedy background and the easy to work mosaic bands encourage some serious color play that leads to fabulous results.
Yara is a very wearable, crescent shaped shawl. A prominent design feature are the vertical and horizontal mosaic bands that adorn the shawl. To achieve this look the upper body of the shawl is worked from side to side. For the lower shawl body, stitches are picked up at the edge of the upper shawl body and worked downwards.
We’ve assembled kits in 4 fabulous colorways to choose from:
Colorway 1: Black & Cream / Accent Stripe: Burgundy & Gold
Colorway 2: Dark Grey & Light Grey / Accent Stripe: Turquoise & Purple
Colorway 3: Sage Green & Cream / Accent Stripe: Pink & Black
Colorway 4: Dark Grey & Light Grey / Accent Stripe: Rust & Cream
Each kit includes 12 skeins of yarn: 5 skeins of each of the two main colors and 1 skein each of the two accent colors.
