St Kilda Shawl and Scarf

On the enchanting craggy islands of St Kilda, a small community thrived with two unique breeds of sheep: the Soay and the Boreray. Today, these islands may be deserted, but their legacy lives on in the beautiful Boreray and Soay fleeces that are meticulously spun into luxurious Blacker's St Kilda yarn. This exquisite yarn is sourced from skilled breeders in Scotland and England, ensuring that each skein captures the rich heritage of these remarkable sheep. Perfect for a variety of projects, this yarn also works wonderfully with other lace weight yarns. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced knitter, you’ll find this yarn to be a delightful choice for your next creation.

The featured knitting pattern utilizes the same elegant stitch pattern throughout, which is provided both as a chart and in a detailed row-by-row written format. This versatility allows knitters of all skill levels to easily follow along. The Neckerchief project requires just 50g of yarn, making it a quick and satisfying knit. For those looking for a bit more challenge, the smaller shawl can be created with 100g of yarn, while the full-sized shawl elegantly showcases your skills and creativity, requiring 150g. Additionally, a versatile scarf design can be made with either 50g or 100g, allowing for customization to fit your style and needs.

Explore the timeless beauty of St Kilda through your knitting, and embrace the opportunity to create stunning pieces that carry the story and tradition of these extraordinary islands.
