A "Yukata" (in Japanese 浴 衣, literally: 浴 bath and 衣 dress) is a "bath dress" or "bathing robe". Such a cotton summer kimono serves as an uncomplicated, lighter and everyday variant of a kimono that is worn often at summer festivals with fireworks. The colors are truly exquisite and photos barely do it justice. Yukata is a delicate silk, wool, poly blend is the perfect fine weight to knit up at a gauge of 23-26 stitches per 4 inches on US 3-5 (2.25-3.75 mm) needles. The colors will fly off your needles.
Hand-dyed yarns have subtle variations that cause colors to vary from skein to skein. As this is a natural part of the process, please note there may be differences between the yarn images shown and the yarn received. Therefore, we encourage buying enough yarn for the entire project at the same time. You can always call the shop for color verification.
