Townes Pillow – Project Kit (Pre-Order)
Townes Pillow – Project Kit (Pre-Order)
The Townes Pillow features a beautiful five-color gradient created from a rainfall of stranded colorwork transitions. Choose from an elegant neutral, soothing blue, lively green, or even pink palette to fit any decor.
We are excited to introduce this pattern for a limited time with Lamana Como, a gorgeous 100% extra fine merino yarn. The yardage estimate for each kit factors in enough yarn for the pillow cover in the selected size, plus 10% for a 6- to 8-inch swatch and knitter tension variance.
Each Townes Pillow Project Kit includes a free digital pattern, delivered by email at the time of shipping.
Below is additional pre-order timeline and pattern information. Select a size and color to see its associated yarn photo.
