Call for Preview Knitters: The Clematis Scarf 🌸

Hi friends!

I'm thrilled to share an exciting opportunity to be part of the launch of my upcoming pattern—the Clematis Scarf—and I’d love for you to join me as a preview knitter!

This scarf is part of a special collaboration with Queen City Yarn, designed in their breezy Coleman DK base (a dreamy silk/linen blend perfect for warmer weather). It features a delicate lace-and-cable motif inspired by blooming clematis vines and garden trellises—elegant, textural, and so fun to knit!

What is a Preview Knitter?

As a preview knitter, you'll work from the final version of the pattern (no need to give feedback like test knitters do!) and help build excitement by sharing your project and progress on Instagram or Ravelry 1–2 weeks ahead of the official launch in June.

Think of it as being part of the front row for a pattern release—plus you’ll get early access to the pattern and an exclusive 20% off yarn discount to knit your scarf in Queen City Yarn’s gorgeous Coleman base. 💖

What You’ll Love About the Clematis Scarf

✨ Delicate Floral Motif – A unique blend of cables and lace, inspired by clematis vines in bloom

🧶 One-Skein Project – Designed to use just one skein of DK weight Coleman

🌿 Skill-Building Fun – Great for adventurous knitters who enjoy charts, lace, and trying new things

Want to Join In?

If this sounds like your kind of project, sign up to preview knit here or send me a message on Instagram @yumiyarns and I’ll send you all the details.

Preview knitters will get access to the pattern and yarn discount starting May 14. I can’t wait to see what color you choose and how your clematis blooms! 🌸

Thank you so much for being a part of this—your excitement and creativity make these launches so meaningful and fun!

With love + yarn,

Shaina
