Westknits Kit - Chestnut Starfish

$170.00 CAD

Meet Chestnut Starfish, a stunning West Wool kit curated for Westknitters who love bold colour play and beautifully soft yarn. This ten-skein palette combines warm chestnut tones with starfish coral, tiger brown, rich dijon, and sunny yellow—designed to shine in Stephen West’s iconic multi-colour shawls.

Originally assembled for the Aurora Cabin Shawl, this kit also works beautifully for other fingering-weight Westknits favourites. Aurora Cabin is the very motif featured on our embossed Mini Boxy Tote, making this colour kit a perfect match if you love coordinating your yarn and project bags.

About the Aurora Cabin Shawl Pattern

This semi-circular shawl is knit seamlessly from the top centre downward, finishing with a dramatic chevron border and I-cord bind off. Stripes and slip-stitch motifs alternate throughout the design, but you’ll only ever work with one colour at a time—perfect for relaxing, rhythmic knitting that still delivers striking, multi-colour results.

Yarn requirements: 500g of fingering-weight yarn in five colours (included in the kit)
