✨Franklin Habit + Canon Hand Dyed: Shadow Knitting Kit (KNIT)

Discover the magic of shadow knitting with this captivating collaboration between Franklin Habit, Canon Hand Dyed. Franklin’s Shadow Knitting Kit invites you to experience the enchanting world of illusion knitting, where hidden patterns emerge as light and movement transform your stitches. 

✨Franklin shares…
Franklin has been in awe of Amy’s work since the moment he first saw it in person. “The first time I saw Amy’s yarn, it was at the Madrona Fiber Festival - I just stood in front of the booth, completely speechless. Well, almost speechless… there may have been some very complimentary, colorful language.”

✨The kit
This exclusive kit lets you dive into the fascinating world of shadow knitting with two distinct projects: the Fleuron Shadow Scarf/Wrap and the Loie Fuller Shadow Shawlette, both designed by Franklin Habit to showcase the mesmerizing interplay of light and shadow. The Fleuron is created using four beautifully curated gradient cakes, offering a striking yet approachable project. Then, take your skills to the next level. The Loie Fuller uses two richly dyed tonal skeins, providing a slightly more advanced challenge. 

This kit includes:

• Gradient Cakes (Exclusive Colorways): 4 gradient cakes (for the Shadow Scarf/Wrap)
• Tonal Skeins (Exclusive Colorways): 2 semi-solid tonal skeins (for the Shadow Shawlette)

✨The yarn

Canon Hand Dyed, led by the talented Amy Lee Serradell, brings a signature blend of artistry and precision to this kit. Known for her mastery of self-patterning yarns, Amy has crafted exclusive gradient designs alongside rich, tonal colorways to complement Franklin’s vision.
