When your favourite yarn is discontinued or your most-loved indie yarn dyer ceases trading, you might have a little bit of that special yarn left that you don’t quite know what to do with it.
Express your admiration for that yarny “work of art”, by knitting it into a Homage Kerchief. Wear it like a chic neckerchief or wrap it around your neck twice for a cosier look: either way you’ll be paying homage to your precious yarn, whilst looking super stylish!
