We are so excited about the newest design from local designer Olga Buraya-Kefelian! With the weather turning crisp it’s the perfect time to cast on a cozy shawl, and the stunning textured stitch is addictive to knit. Our team thinks this might be an amazing alternative to a #Rhinebecksweater for those who haven’t started one yet. The yarnistas have been busy making custom kits for this project! With gorgeous kits pairing Spincycle Dyed In the Wool and Wooldreamers Dehesa De Barrera, the toughest part will be just knitting one. Each kit will come with a gift from us – our fibre girl pin!
