DIY Kit - Drama Queen Shawl
Dream is our new name for Merino Worsted yarn. Though the name is different and we have a new palette of color offerings, nothing else about Dream has changed: it is the same yarn you know and love!
Meet Babushka and Drama Queen, two beginner-friendly triangular shawls with a lot of personality! Knit in 100% merino wool Dream yarn, Babushka and Drama Queen are sister styles that start with the same sumptuously soft base, but end with two distinct looks. Drama Queen style is just Babushka with added fringe.
The shawls use 2-3 balls of Dream yarn, and we have DIY kits and a downloadable pattern available. Choose between 17 colors in the Dream palette and then decide: are you a Babushka or a Drama Queen? Or, maybe, both!
For multi-color fringe you can use scraps of any leftover yarns (experiment with different colors and textures).
