Yıldız means "star" in Turkish, and this scarf earns the name. Waves of stripes ripple across in alternating bands — shifting gradient color on a solid background, then bands of star flowers, then back again. The rhythm is hypnotic, the result is graphic and beautiful, and the two-yarn combination does most of the design work for you. Gusto Echoes Wool brings the color movement. It's Urth's gradient take on the Gusto line — extrafine superwash merino hand dyed in Turkey with a long color shift built into each skein, so the tonal depth unfolds automatically as you knit. Gusto Core provides the anchor: a solid extrafine merino base that lets the gradient stripes and star motifs read clearly against a clean background. This kit includes one pair of Urth Yarns Gusto Echoes Wool and one skein of Urth Yarns Gusto Core, both 80% Extrafine Superwash Merino 20% Nylon, Fingering Weight, 440 yardsPurchase the Yıldız Scarf pattern separately on Ravelry. For every skein sold, Urth plants a tree in Africa.
