Sally has put together a shawl kit. She has chosen Chill by Dominique Trad. The kit includes the pattern and yarn. If you would like your skeins wound/balled then you will need to also purchase the ball winding service.
Just like its name, this is a chill out in front of the tv knit , resulting in a cosy, easy to wear accessory.
The Chill shawl is crescent shaped and has a short repeating texture pattern for easy knitting and adjustment to your size preference (or however much yarn you have). Perfect for variegated and solid coloured yarns, this simple design makes for an accessory you can reach for time and again.

300g DK/Worsted weight yarn (sample used 278g plus 12g for tassels, of Malabrigo Rios which is 192m/210y per 100g/3.53oz col. Liquidambar).
Needles & Notions
5mm (US 8) 80cm circular needle.
2 stitch markers
Tension/Gauge
16 sts and 28 rows per 10cm (4”) square over pattern after blocking.

The vast, open pastures of Australia offer ample grazing areas, promoting healthy, well-nourished sheep that produce high-quality wool.
Tasmania's cooler climate provide ideal conditions for producing exceptionally fine wool, making it a renowned region for premium wool production in Australia.
