Star Light Star Bright Kit
$230.00
Stephanie put together an exclusive String Theory set of 20 mini skeins to help us celebrate our 20th anniversary. These 20 minis + the full skein (also included) make the Star Light Star Bright blanket (pattern also included). Simple increases and decreases create the star shape in your choice of 5 or 6 points.
NOTE that while the blanket pictured is the pattern included in the kit, this sample was made in a different color combination than ours.
You can choose to make the blanket or use the 2064 yards of sportweight yarn to make a series of hats and mittens, an adult sweater, or several beautiful cowls. Think of it as having a crayon box with all the colors.
This kit includes all necessary yarn and pattern download.
