Lanhydrock

Lanhydrock House, a stunning Tudor Manor located in the scenic countryside of Cornwall, is surrounded by nearly 1000 acres of diverse landscapes, ranging from enchanting woodlands to beautifully manicured formal gardens. Originally rebuilt in the 1880s after a devastating fire, this magnificent estate has been meticulously restored to showcase the charm and elegance of life during the Victorian Era. Among its many features, the grounds include an ancient church that has served the Robartes family, who were the house's owners for numerous generations, adding to the rich history of this remarkable site.

The exquisite lace motif of this shawl draws inspiration from the intricate designs of the church windows, beautifully capturing the sense of elegance and formality found in the surrounding gardens. This serene shawl is created using a top-down garter stitch tab method, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable knitting experience. The delicate lace fabric not only offers a stunning visual appeal but also provides a lovely drape that enhances the overall grace of the piece. Additionally, the option to incorporate beads into the bind-off adds an exquisite touch, giving added weight and sophistication to the shawl's edge.

For those looking to knit a miniature version, we also offer the doll-sized design, aptly named Little Lanhydrock. Both the full-sized Lanhydrock shawl and its smaller counterpart can be crafted using just one skein (approximately 550 yards) of Swan's Island Natural Colors Merino Silk or any other suitable laceweight yarn that meets the required gauge for optimal results. Dive into this delightful project and let the historical allure of Lanhydrock House inspire your knitting journey!
