The 16th annual Westknits MKAL is due to kick off at the beginning of October and it promises to be as stunning and unique as always...

The pattern calls for 4 skeins of fingering weight yarn (400m per skein), ideally three contrasting light/medium/dark shades with a contrast or complimentary 'pop', so we've rummaged in the stock crates and run with our creative instincts.

** The yarn pack does not include the pattern which can be purchased directly from Westknits or via Ravelry.

This yarn pack is ready-to-ship and the price includes a 10% discount off full retail. It contains four skeins of pightle | fingering/4ply in the following shades:

somehow distant still
in the still morning air
by a miracle
softly as a morning

Although Pightle is spun from superwash fibre, we recommend hand washing in cool water to preserve the vibrancy of the dye.

We use professional acid dyes with good light and wash fastness and do our best to exhaust every dye bath and reuse water wherever possible to reduce any further environmental impact. Occasionally a small amount of 'loose' dye may remain in the yarn after rinsing (most likely with deeply saturated shades) and we always recommend hand washing in very cool water and pre-washing your yarn separately if you are intending to mix light and dark shades in a single garment/project.
