This stunning shawl by Stephen West is a work of art, filled with exciting techniques, and accompanied by detailed video tutorials demonstrating every section of the shawl. Twists & Turns can be worn in multiple ways, whether it's open, draped around the shoulders, or wrapped up for warmth. Each style transforms the overlapping patterns and colors, giving the shawl many distinct appearances. This kit includes the perfect amount of our soft, eco-friendly Amble to knit this super trendy shawl.
Amble is a fingering-weight yarn made from a blend of eco-friendly washable wool and alpaca for comfort, as well as recycled nylon for added strength. This contemporary project is ideal for knitters who want to create and wear something colorful, fun, and stylish using luxury yarn.
This design was part of the Westknits Mystery Knit Along (MKAL), which included a four-part video series that released clues about the design (see the Techniques Used section below).
