The Poetry of Heaven Kit

This 60-inch-diameter double-knit beaded cape encompasses the Northern Hemisphere's night sky, and the symbology of the constellations of the Zodiac. This kit is only for the EXTRMELY COMMITTED. Everything is included except for the needles, including:

• About 2600 yards dark color sport weight yarn
• about 1900 yards light color sport weight yarn (Juniper Moon Farms Patagonia Organic Merino)
• About 450 yards lace weight silk/mohair yarn (Berroco Aerial or Kelbourne Harmony)
  24 stitch markers
• About 2000 size 6/0 seed beads (more than you will need, but I like to account for some spillage), white (about 370 per 24g vial)
• No.10 (0.75mm) steel crochet hook
• Silver thread for embroidery
• Jul leather and metal Closure
• 48 pages of charts, plus instructions and poems

Completing this project doesn't require a lot of advanced skills (although it is by no means for beginners, and you should already know how to double knit before you begin), but it will require vast oceans of time and resolve. If this sort of thing appeals to you, you might also want to check out Knit the Earth and The Magic (and Science) of Double Knitting.
