Morion
Smoky quartz is a captivating grey, translucent variety of quartz known for its unique range of color, from almost complete transparency to a rich brown/gray hue that approaches opacity. Among these stunning variations, the very dark opaque form is referred to as morion, a name that inspired one of our exquisite knitting patterns.
The Semi Precious Collection features a beautiful fusion of luxurious silk and cozy wool, thoughtfully designed into three unique shawls. Each shawl in this collection harmoniously blends the elegance of silk with the warmth of wool, making them perfect for any season. The names of these shawls all draw inspiration from semi-precious gemstones, adding a touch of charm and allure to your knitting experience.
Silk is incredibly luxurious and provides excellent stitch definition, especially for delicate lacework. However, crafting an entire shawl from silk can become quite costly. Wool, on the other hand, is not only warm and cozy but also more budget-friendly. That’s why this collection features shawls that are crafted from a delightful blend of 50% silk and 50% wool, creating a truly semi-precious knitting experience!
The knits in this collection showcase simplistic and relaxing garter stitch bodies, ensuring enjoyable and mindless knitting at its finest. To keep your creative spirit engaged and avoid monotony, each shawl features a unique construction style. Morion boasts a deep horseshoe shape, Jaspé resembles a long, elegant curved stole, while Adularia takes on a stunning semi-circular form.
The edges of these lovely shawls are adorned with delicate lace, offering a beautiful contrast to the garter stitch bodies. While they require a bit more attention, the intricate lace details make the finished product truly special and captivating. Whether you are an experienced knitter or just starting out, the Semi Precious Collection invites you to explore the art of knitting with these innovative shawl patterns that beautifully celebrate the elegance of semi-precious stones.
