Float Relaxed Shawl Knitting Kit
☁️ Float Knit Kit
Need something calm, soothing, and beautifully effortless? The Float Knit Kit is made for quiet evenings, slow weekends, and moments when you want to knit without overthinking.
‘Float’ is a light yet cozy rectangular shawl, created by holding two luxurious yarns together — soft Sesia Finissimo Merino 2ply and airy Kidsilk Mohair. The simple stocking stitch design makes this project wonderfully relaxing, while the finished piece drapes like a cloud. Fold it, wrap it, or stitch a short side seam to transform it into a versatile cocoon-style shawl — elegant, understated, and timeless.

Are needles included?
A 4 mm circular needle with a 60 cm cord is an optional extra, not included in every kit choice.
Is this suitable for a beginner?
