Wildlife Shawl Kit

NOTE: Due to high demand, we are offering pre-orders of this shawl kit. We estimate that the pre-order will take about 3-4 weeks to arrive.

This Wildlife Shawl is knitted in Garn Manufaktur's marvelous Merino Donegal Tweed yarn - in the round on US 4 needles. 

A Nordic technique is used to recreate the luxurious and beautiful coats of some of our favorite wild animals, including: leopards, giraffes and zebras. 
The shawl is bordered in shades of green from the savannah, with the lettering of WILDLIFE knitted right into it.

Written instructions fully explain the creating of the shawl step by step.
