Sea Isle Shawl
Introducing our exquisite shawl pattern, crafted with hand-dyed brushed alpaca and silk that beautifully mimics the brush strokes of Impressionist painting masters. This luxurious yarn, knit on larger needles, is lace weight with a soft halo effect, resulting in a fabric that is butter soft and as light as a feather. Ideal for three out of four seasons, this shawl elegantly sits on your shoulders without slipping off, or you can wear it as a cozy scarf during the cooler months. The stunning grande eyelets featured in this shawl gradually increase in number as you approach the border, adding visual interest and texture. With just one skein, you can create this delightful lacy design in a weekend, making it a perfect project for both beginners and seasoned knitters alike.
