Sally has put together a shawl kit based on the Tourmaline pattern 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.
Enjoy the squishy ease of garter stitch stripes joined with some simple lace to form joyful rows of hearts.
This 3 colour shawl is designed for Fingering weight (4ply) yarn and can be knit in 3 versions: Large with 3 colours (pictured), Large with 2 colours, or Small with 2 colours. The instructions are written row for row and include stitch counts. Charts are also included.

The benefits of Wool
Australian climate - perfect for wool
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.
