The Quma Small Shawl makes use of one ball of Amano’s newest yarn, Quma (available starting August 2026 at your LYS).

Amano describes Quma thusly:

Named after the Quechua word for gentle and soft, Quma is a yarn meant to be touched, plush, voluminous, and air-spun for a cloud-like lightness and velvety handfeel. With every stitch, it brings warmth, softness, and depth, perfect for garments that cocoon the body and offer everyday comfort with character and beauty.

The Quma Small Shawl (suitable for beginners or anyone who wants to knit one ball of a plush comforting yarn) is a simple project with big bang for the buck.
