Malabrigo KAL 2024 Kits

Join the Malabrigo 2024 KAL!  This March is dedicated to making this fun boomerang shaped shawl out of Dos Tierras, a 50/50 blend of alpaca & merino with a nice, tight twist.  While the designer, Jill Tamminen, chose 3 distinct colors of this squishy yarn, the design is so fluid that each knitter can choose between 1, 2, or 3 colors depending on their desires.  This Knit Along is inspired by friendships, so feel free to select colors for your bestie and gift the shawl for a late spring break gift.
