Friendship Shawl Kits
The Friendship Shawl this fun boomerang shaped shawl knit out of Dos Tierras, a 50/50 blend of alpaca & merino with a nice, tight twist for the 2024 Malabrigo KAL. While the designer, Jill Tamminen, chose 3 distinct colors of this squishy yarn, the design is so fluid that each knitter can choose between 1, 2, or 3 colors depending on their desires. This Knit Along is inspired by friendships, so feel free to select colors for your bestie and gift the shawl for a late spring break gift.
