Colorwash Scarf Kit

By Lichen and Lace

Just in time for holiday knitting and gifting, an exclusive new colorway of Lichen and Lace yarns for Kirsten Kapur’s Colorwash Scarf.

Our first glimpse of Lichen and Lace left us marveling at Megan Ingman’s deft skill at capturing nature in a skein of yarn. These small batches of merino wool superwash carry the mark of the dyer—no two skeins are exactly alike, and that’s what makes them so special.

You’ll receive two skeins of Lichen and Lace Merino Single as shown, along with the downloadable ebook MDK Field Guide No. 3: Wild Yarns, which includes Kirsten Kapur’s Colorwash Scarf pattern.

This product is currently out of stock and unavailable.

In a world where uniformity is altogether too easy to achieve by machine, we crave the unpredictable. Lichen and Lace is anything but uniform, and that’s where we find its beauty.

Megan Ingman lives and dyes her yarns in New Brunswick, one of eastern Canada’s maritime provinces. It’s inspiring to see the work of a dyer who keeps such a close eye on the colors found in nature.

This 100% merino superwash yarn is a single, meaning it has only one ply. We’re fans of this simple yarn construction—its slightly irregular twist adds character to a handknit, and in this fingering weight, it is perfect for the Colorwash Scarf.

Show the love: give a handknit! We offer easy, beautiful kits.
