Questions about the Party Favor Shawl
What yarn do I need for the Party Favor Shawl?
Two fingering weight yarns for the stripes and one lace weight yarn for the lace sections. The pattern uses about 420 yards of each fingering weight and 426 yards of the lace weight.
This kit has all three: Cue the Confetti and your color in Plush Sock, plus your color in Brushed Merino. Every skein is 100g, so there's yardage to spare.
Do I need to buy the pattern separately?
Nope. The Party Favor Shawl pattern by Tonia Lyons is part of every kit.
Which yarn goes where?
Cue the Confetti and your color, both in Plush Sock, make the striped Feather & Fan sections. Your color in Brushed Merino knits the lace sections in between.
Is Brushed Merino a good alternative to mohair?
It is, especially if mohair hasn't worked out for you. Brushed Merino is superwash merino brushed into a soft, floofy halo. No itch and no shed.
Mohair's halo is wispy and silky. This one is fuzzier and adds more texture. That's what gives the Party Favor lace sections their soft, lofty look.
Is Brushed Merino itchy?
Nope. It's 80% brushed superwash merino and 20% nylon, soft enough to wear right against your neck. Each 100g skein has 656 yards.
Is the Party Favor Shawl beginner friendly?
Yes, if you know your knits and purls. The pattern only asks for basic knitting skills, and both lace patterns are classic Shetland stitches. The lace does all the showing off.
How big is the Party Favor Shawl?
About 62.5 inches long and 23.5 inches deep. You knit it lengthwise on US 6 (4 mm) needles, from one short edge to the other.
How do I wash my Party Favor Shawl?
Hand wash in cool water, or machine wash on gentle. Plush Sock and Brushed Merino are both superwash, so the choice is yours.
When does my kit ship?
The yarn is ready to ship, so there's no preorder wait.

What Makes This Yarn So Soft?
A Yarn's softness is determined by the fineness of its fibers. This base features extrafine merino wool measuring just 19.5 microns (among the finest commercially available) resulting in an incredibly soft yarn that feels gentle against the skin.
How To Care For Your Yarn
We recommend gently hand washing your makes in cold water to keep them looking their best. After washing, reshape your item and lay it flat on a clean, dry surface to air dry. This method helps preserve the vibrant colors and softness of the yarn.
Understanding Color Differences
We strive for color consistency across batches, but due to the nature of hand-dyed yarn, color variations may occur, even within the same dye bath. Monitor and screen settings may also affect how colors appear. For multi-skein projects, we recommend alternating skeins every few rows.
