Velella {yarn only} Kits

THIS IS CURRENTLY A DYE TO ORDER KIT. Dye to Order typically takes 3-4 weeks to process.  VELELLA is a colorwork wrap featuring a detailed and elegant Persian-style motif, depicting a curiously beautiful sea creature called velella velella. Velella velella, also known as by-the-wind sailors, are carried by the wind at the sails on their backs. When the winds change, they wash up ashore in the thousands, leaving a beautiful natural mosaic on our sandy beaches. Knit in the round, then steeked and embellished with delicate fringe and generous tassels, Velella is a handmade piece to remember. A smaller, more demure cowl version is included in the pattern, with the velella motif wrapping all the way around the neck. A simple yet striking statement piece for any outfit! Our Vixen base is the perfect blend of merino and silk for a lovely drape, dyed in the in our signature palette of both subtly muted and richly saturated tones that bring notes of luxury and sophistication to every project.
