Last month, Black Panther costumer designer Ruth E Carter shared the yarns used in her design for Nakia’s knitted shawl:

I’m still listening. So. There were 4 yarns used for nakia's wrap from three different dyers. 2 yarns from Madeline Tosh a wool, silk blend and a wool linen blend. 1 from Noro, a wool and silk blend. And 1 from Malabrigo, all wool. You good? https://t.co/dFpiGQRFDV

The ensuing frenzy resulted in the release of the pattern, designed by Jeff Gillies.
