Color Boost Shawl Kit (Hand-Dyed Yarn)

A kit to make Color Boost Shawl by Renata Grabska (Comfort Zone Knits) using Martin's Lab hand-dyed yarn – fingering-weight Merino Singles held alternately with lace-weight Silky Mohair.

Color Boost is a stylish, romantic crescent-shaped shawl worked seamlessly in flat garter-stitch stripes. The mohair halo highlights the colors of the merino beneath and gives the shawl its airy, luminous character. The original sample was knit in our yarn – a Martin's Lab × Comfort Zone Knits collaboration.

Each kit includes:

• hand-dyed yarn in 2 colors (see the table below)
• a Martin's Lab printed cotton project bag
• a sachet of no-rinse wool wash

***

We recommend reading about yarn care before washing and working with the yarn. Although every effort is made to exhaust the dye bath of color, you may find a little color bleed on the first washes.

I try to depict the true color of yarn but please remember each monitor will be different. If you have any questions regarding the color, feel free to drop me an email.
