Last Wednesday, 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 Bonfire Shawl kit colorways, click here for the original super bulky version and click here for the lighter weight worsted/Aran version.

If you're here for all the details though, read on!

In our Bonfire Shawl 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 stunning statement shawl to wear with joy and pride because YOU MADE IT! In today’s blog, I share all of the available color combos (there are over 30!) we’ve put together for you so that you can decide which one you like best before we officially open up registration on Wednesday, Feb 19th.

Ok first up, the color combination details for the original version of the Bonfire Shawl! For this pattern, you'll need one skein of either Spun Cloud or Sister yarn and one Mini Skein Sampler Kit. 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 ever so subtle but if you prefer to go sparkle free, Sister has the same gauge and fiber content without the glam! We mix the Spun Cloud/Sister with 5 contrasting colors that come packed together as a Mini Skein Sampler Kit. Inside each of these kits you get one mini skein (17 yds each) of five different yarns (Spun Cloud, Cast Away, Wildflower, Dreamland, and Daisy Chain). These contrast colors give you the opportunity to play with both color and texture to your heart's content. Just knitting with this yarn is a happy little adventure!

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

Bonfire Shawl Color Combinations ~ OG Version

We have very, VERY few Spun Cloud skeins and Mini Skein Sampler kits left, in some cases less than 10. 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 April. Please feel free to reach out and ask me any and all questions in the blog comments below.

Next up we have the color combination details for the reimagined lighter weight worsted/Aran version of the Bonfire Shawl! For this version, we use two skeins of our Serenity yarn as the main color, one additional skein of Serenity in a contrasting color, and 2 skeins of our Wildflower yarn for an additional pop of color and texture. Our Serenity yarn is a brushed boucle yarn that's unlike anything else in the Knit Collage family. The cozy texture it creates is reminiscent of your favorite fleece jacket or a worn in sheep skin throw. The fiber content is a blend of 85% wool and 15% nylon. Our Wildflower yarn is a fabric tape yarn made of 100% cotton that is screenprinted by hand with unique patterns in Jaipur, India. The prints are inspired by vintage treasures both from India and the states! After the fabric is printed, it’s sent up to our team of spinners who then laser cut it into long strips. The strips are knotted together to make yarn and viola you’ve got Wildflower. The mix of these two textured yarns together makes for a super interesting fabric both visually and tactilely.
