Loop Hedgehog Tiny Tassels Shawlette Kit
A sweet, joyful little knit — and a genuinely easy one. Tiny Tassels is a triangle shawlette with rows of miniature tassels running along both side edges, worked up in colours that make it a pleasure to wear any time of year. If you've been wanting to try a shawl but aren't ready for anything complicated, this is a lovely place to start — straightforward shaping, satisfying texture, and a finished piece you'll actually reach for.
This kit brings together two independent hand-dyers. Hedgehog Fibres is dyed by hand in Ireland, known for rich, painterly colourways with real depth of tone. Uncommon Thread is a British yarn, hand-dyed here in the UK, and brings a brighter, punchier note to the palette — the two together give this shawlette its lovely tonal contrast.
Skill level: Beginner to intermediate

The kit works out cheaper than buying two full skeins or four Unicorn Tails separately — and it saves you the job of winding the mini skein yourself.
Prefer to buy the yarn separately? The pattern is available free here, and we've got a tassel-making tutorial on the blog to walk you through that part.
If this kit sells out, you can knit it with any 4ply hand-dyed yarn from stock, using stash yarn or Unicorn Tails for the tassels. We also still have the La Bien Aimée Cashmerino version available.
As with all hand-dyed yarn, skeins may vary slightly in colour from batch to batch and from the photos shown.
