SALE Noro Prism Kits

Prism Kits

I wear this shawl all the time in the store, so much in fact that we had to make a second sample for the store.  People are constantly asking me what it is and how to make it. It's a free pattern from Ravelry, and is really easy - the yarn does all the work. Our samples were made with two skeins of Noro Silk Garden Sock in two colourways: one main colour and one contrast colour (you can also use Noro Silk Garden Sock Solo for the contrast colour). The colours are carried up the side and alternated every other row - no cutting yarn, no weaving in endless ends.  Added bonus, it's on sale until the end of May!

Kits includes:

• 2 skeins of Noro Silk Garden Sock (or Noro Silk Garden Sock Solo)
• pattern

Kit does NOT include:

• 3.75mm/US5-32" (or longer) circular needles
• stitch markers
