Last Thursday, I shared about the crochet 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 Frolic Flower Shawl kit colorways, click here.

 

As a quick reminder, the first 20 participants that join us with a yarn kit purchase will get a Wildflower yarn Mini Skein in their box, valued at $13. The color will be a surprise!

 

In our upcoming challenge, you’ll have the opportunity to grow your crochet skills, connect with other makers and dive deep into your own creativity. You’ll finish with a gorgeous shawl that you will cherish for yearns to come because YOU MADE IT! In today’s blog, I share all of the curated color combos we’ve put together for you so that you can decide which one calls to you before we officially open up enrollment on Wednesday, July 16th.

 

 

Ok first up, the color combination details! For this pattern, you'll need three skeins of Waterfall in three different colors (1 skein per color of Waterfall), one skein of Wildflower cotton yarn, and one Wildflower Mini Skein sampler kit (more details listed below). We've kitted the yarn up to have the exact amount of yarn you need to successfully make the shawl design shown above! Our Waterfall yarn is a tie dye-esque viscose ribbon yarn with colors reminiscent of a watercolor painting. Our Wildflower cotton yarn is screen printed by hand in Jaipur, India with prints inspired by vintage treasures. Together, these summery yarns create a stunning patchwork of color with fantastic drape––perfect for a shawl, scarf, or whatever your dream up for your finished flower motifs to become!

We have very, VERY few skeins of certain Waterfall colors left. If you have your heart set on a special kit, please order early to ensure you get what you like! No more is slated to arrive until next spring. Please feel free to reach out and ask me any and all questions in the blog comments below.
