3 Color Cashmere Cowl or Shawl KAL at Stash!

Join Stash for the 3 Color
Cashmere Shawl or Cowl KAL

Fridays, Feb 26, March 4, 11 & 18 , 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm 

This is the perfect project to try a color outside of your comfort zone but have always wanted to knit.  For me it's the Glow Stick color by Knerd String.  It's so bright, I gotta wear shades to knit it!

The 3 Color Cashmere Cowl is a lovely little pattern to let the days go by while peacefully knitting away… There are no complex stitches in this cowl, just putting together some stripes, texture and lace as they suit you best!

The 3 Color Cashmere Shawl was inspired by the 3-Color Cashmere Cowl, the shawl version is for those who prefer the freedom of a shawl, or for those simply looking for an excuse to make this fun project again! There are no complex stitches in this shawl, just some stripes, texture and lace put together to peacefully knit away.

You will need: for the cowl: 3 colors fingering weight yarn approx. 200 yards each.  for the shawl: 3 colors fingering weight yarn approx. 350 yards each.  We recommend Knerd String Fingering or Wonderland Yarns Queen of Hearts.  Needle: Us 6 circular. Patterns are available for purchase at Stash!

This is also a great stash buster for those single skeins of fingering weight yarn you may have stashed away somewhere!  

We also have a few of our favorite color combos in Knerd String and Woderland Yarns for you:

Dream in Color Smooshy and Smooshy with Cashmere!

Dream in Color Smooshy

Smooshy is a  100% superwash merino with a bouncy twist which makes it a joy to knit and a treat to wear. The fiber content, combined with a unique dyeing process, gives Smooshy its deep and lushly-shaded tones. The plied texture and versatile fingering weight mean Smooshy is just as perfect for lacy scarves and shawls as it is for cozy, cushy socks.

Dream in Color Smooshy with Cashmere

This could just be Heaven in a skein of yarn! This yarn takes on dye like no other.  You really have to see it in person to see the color saturation.  And, 20% cash­mere makes this yarn divinely next-to-skin soft, while 10% nylon lends a durability that means Smooshy with Cashmere is equally at home in socks and open, airy lacework.
