In Latvian folklore, a pūķis is a dragon — a mythical creature with two sides. It brings wealth and luck to a lucky few, often without their awareness. But ignore it, and it will wreak havoc. The Latvian symbols for a pūķis move in one direction and then turn back on themselves, over and over — just like entrelac. Mind your purls and knits, stay attentive, and the dragon will reward you with a breathtaking dragon-skin scarf. Let your attention slip, and confusion results. The yarn does its part to keep things interesting. Urth Yarns Uneek Worsted is a 100% superwash merino that self-stripes automatically as you knit — wide, saturated color transitions that unfold on their own, no planning required. Urth Yarns 16 Worsted brings the contrast: a 100% extrafine 16-micron merino solid, the kind of soft that stops people mid-petting-session. Both are machine washable, worsted weight, and 220 yards per skein. Together they create the shifting, scaled texture the pattern was made for. This kit includes one skein of Urth Yarns Uneek Worsted, one skein of Urth Yarns 16 Worsted, Purchase the Pūķis Scarf pattern separately on Ravelry. For every skein sold, Urth plants a tree in Africa.
