Allegro Wrap

Allegro Wrap

I am teaming up with Ruth Greenwald, of PennyRose Yarns. We will be offering a shawl/scarf club. This would consist of an original Melinda Miller design as well as hand-dyed fingering weight yarn from PennyRose Yarns (see samples below). This would be sold in kits – with the pattern and the yarn together through Ruth’s Etsy shop . Cost will be $35 plus first class shipping. Will ship internationally. 

Ship date is around June 15th. Your kit will include the Allegro Wrap pattern (which will be emailed to you) and 750 yards of superwash merino Symphony 6-ply yarn (choose one of 4 colors). Colors are Chile, Magenta, Sandy and Emerald.

This is the last week of the Dishcloth CAL. I hope you have enjoyed working these dishcloths every week. You should have a nice stash of cloths to keep or give away as gifts. You can never have too many dishcloths. :) With that said, here are the last two patterns. Enjoy!
