Inspired by the ancient Greek god of the north Wind, Boreas is the bringer of cold winter air. Here we see the colours of the Northern Lights as they flash across the winter sky.
The Boreas 4 Winds Scarf Yarn Kit consists of two 100g skeins of The Other Woman (large skeins) plus five 20g mini-skeins, one each of (dark-light): Purple Sea Urchin, Pinkapalooza, Vintage Rose, Steel Magnolia and Newsprint.
Please note: the mini skeins in this kit are used as both C1 and C2 in a gradient effect. See here for more details.
This yarn kit was curated for the 4 Winds Scarf (pattern available on Ravelry or Payhip) by Susanna Kaartinen of Sanna and Co (part of The Bendigo Project 2025) but can be used for anything your heart desires. There is enough yarn to make a large sized shawl.

Tough Stocking is our most popular yarn base. It is the perfect yarn for any project from socks, mittens, hats and gloves to shawls, garments and baby clothes. Merino for warmth and elasticity, nylon for strength. Moderate twist means good stitch definition.
Hand dyed yarn is a work of art - no two skeins are the same. We recommend that you order enough yarn to complete your project, and that you alternate skeins every couple of rows to avoid obvious colour differences.
