To get the Swiss Yarn Festival into the right mood we have planned a Knitalong! We knit together on Instagram the “Suspiria Shawl” which was specially designed for the festival.

How does the Knitalong work?

At the Knitalong the pattern “Suspiria Shawl” by Soraya Garcia is knitted . An asymetrical shawl.

The manual is available in 5 languages. German, English, French, Italian and Spanish and will be published on January 29, 2023. Anyone who buys a kit from one of the exhibitors will receive the instructions free of charge.
