  • uxbridge shawl

    The shawl that I designed for Tanis Fiber Arts’ Year in Colour last year is now available for individual purchase!

    Uxbridge Shawl

    UXBRIDGE SHAWL
    This sweet shawlette is perfect for that special skein of sock yarn you’ve been holding onto. The rick-rack lace pattern looks great on both sides, and doesn’t compete with variegated yarns. The fact that it’s cashmere is just the icing on the cake!

    MATERIALS
    Yarn
    1 skein Tanis Fiber Arts Purple Label (400 yds / 385m per 4 oz/115g skein; 70% merino wool, 20% cashmere, 10% nylon) in ‘autumn sun’ colourway

    After I sent the original off to Tanis, I knit another one for myself out of Dream in Color Starry – so fun with the sparkles, and just one skein is plenty!
