Get ready to embark on this great adventure - the Westknits Yarn A Long 2026! 

The theme of this year's YAL is Knit Your Own Adventure, which is all about embracing colour customisations and design choices, resulting in three new shawls you are bound to love!

Your adventure begins by choosing a colour palette: WARM or COOL.

Select the WARM theme for juicy pinks, corals, and purples. This will include a 5-skein fade from Hedgehog Fibres, some new semi-solid colourways from West Wool HEX, and some fabulous new splashy and semi-solid tones on the ultra luxurious Yak Singles base from Qing Fibre.

Choose the COOL theme if you love blues and greens. All three palettes will feature cool-toned colours like oceanic blues and wilderness adventure greens. Expect delicious speckles from Hedgehog Fibres in a dreamy blue fade, contrasting green tones in brand new semi-solid hand dyed colourways from West Wool HEX, and an absolutely divine aqua/green inspired palette on Qing Fibre's luxurious Yak Singles base.

Both colour themes include the same yarn bases to knit all three shawls. 

Over three months - May, June, and July - you’ll knit three stunning shawls.Each shawl design will have a Knit Your Own Adventure aspect to it, whether it's choosing the final size of your shawl or selecting your stitch pattern. It is all about making the shawls your own with Stephen's fearless guidance,  detailed instructions and lots of colourful inspiration!

You’ll receive 3 beautifully curated packages featuring custom hand-dyed yarn and some extra special knitting treats. 

In the first box, you will receive an Acorn Stitch Marker Holder and a surprise needle gauge designed by the incredible Malia Mae Joseph.
