Last Thursday, I shared about the knitting challenge headed your way so soon. If you missed that last video, take a quick minute to check out all the details right here. If you are just looking for the available Dream Weaver Pillow kit colorways, click here.

 

In our upcoming challenge, you’ll have the opportunity to grow your knitting skills, connect with other makers and dive deep into your own creativity. You’ll finish with a gorgeous entrelac pillow that you will cherish for yearns to come because YOU MADE IT! In today’s blog, I share all of the available color combos (there are twenty-four!) we’ve put together for you so that you can decide which one you like best before we officially open up registration on Thursday, July 18th.

 

Ok first up, the color combination details! For this pattern, you'll need two skeins of Spun Cloud yarn, in two different colors (1 skein per each Spun Cloud color) and two skeins of the same color of either our Wildflower yarn or our Waterfall yarn (more details listed below). We've kitted the yarn up to have the exact amount of yarn you need to successfully make the pillow! Our Spun Cloud yarn is a bulky thick and thin wool yarn that is spun with two tiny strands of silver and gold lurex plied around it. The sparkle is every so subtle! We mix the Spun Cloud with either our cotton printed Wildflower yarn or our tie dye-esque viscose Waterfall yarn. Both of these summery yarns creates a stunning contrast to the wooliness of our Spun Cloud and they all look fantastic knit up in entrelac together!

 

Peruse all of the available color combinations at the link below.
