Kidding Around Dyed-to-Order Kits

These are dyed-to-order kits that will start shipping on September 23. Pattern available on Ravelry: Kidding Around Shawl and Kidding Around Bandana & Shawlette Cassie came into our booth at Sacred Sheep in November 2025, we got to talking & somehow, someway, I convinced her to come back to the knitting fold. And I’m so glad she’s here. Her designs have always been original, innovative & engaging to knit & Kidding Around is no exception. We launched the companion Kidding Around Bandana & Shawlette for Flock Fiber Festival this year, and thank you for keeping the love of Kidding Around Going! Two cute sizes, all the fun colors.... we hope you have fun kidding around!

Like Elmer Tweed, it's rustic with a beautiful texture and richness. It’s fantastic on its own and perfect for colorwork. It’s light, lofty, and holds its shape beautifully. All the hold and snap back of wool with a whisper of cashmere for softness and halo. This workhorse, I-can-do-anything yarn is a shop favorite. Elmer also knits spectacularly well at a sport weight. Birdie Minis Light Fingering, 131 yds / 20 g 74% Baby Suri Alpaca, 26% Silk Birdie is known for its drape, this gorgeously soft baby suri alpaca yarn is blended with silk for strength. Birdie is the perfect alternative for those desiring a fluffy halo, but are allergic or sensitive to mohair. When held with another yarn, Birdie gives more opaque coverage than Mho Mho. Try it held single for a diaphanous effect, or doubled with itself, or another yarn, for more substance. To note: colors take slightly lighter to Birdie and its sisters, than to other bases.
