Nefta Shawl Kit in Fabulous Sock

Why you'll love it

Crochet the stunning Nefta shawl by Abbeymade, an elongated crescent shawl worked in Tunisian crochet using three skeins of our hand-dyed Skein Sisters Fabulous Sock yarn. Choose from our gorgeous range of pre-selected kits in variegated, speckled, and tonal colours, or curate your own palette from our collection.

When we launched our first range of Skein Sisters Fabulous Sock, we asked Abbey to design a Tunisian crochet shawl using three contrasting colours. The result is Nefta - a striking, oversized shawl that’s big, cosy, and perfect for wrapping up on winter days or styling as a bold fashion statement. Inspired by the dramatic landscapes of Nefta in Tunisia, this shawl plays with contrast, just like the desert sands against a glowing orange sunset.

Designed for intermediate crocheters with a sound knowledge of basic Tunisian crochet techniques, Nefta is worked using a cabled hook and is not recommended as a first project in Tunisian crochet.

You’ll love crocheting this dramatic and beautiful shawl. Choose your favourite yarn set or select your own colours from our Fabulous Sock range, and cast on your Nefta today!

Hand-dyed in Australia

As a hand-dyed yarn, each skein is unique. While we take great care to ensure consistency across dyelots, we recommend alternating skeins when working on larger projects.

Skein Sisters Yarns are hand-dyed in Dulwich Hill in Sydney, Australia on the country of the Bedigal, Wangal and Kameygal people of the Eora Nation.

Important Shipping Note: Items ordered with dyed-to-order yarn will be held and shipped together once your custom yarn is ready. If you’d like your other items sooner, please place a separate order. If you select Store Pick Up at checkout, please wait until you receive our SMS to say your order is ready to be picked up.
