Thebarton Shawl
Looking for a versatile shawl that you can easily mix and match? The Thebarton shawl is the perfect solution! Not only can you knit it using fingering or DK weight yarn, but you can also add optional tassels for a fun finishing touch. The simple and engaging texture of this pattern makes it ideal for experimenting with vibrant colors or for creating a stunning, neutral piece that complements any outfit.
The Thebarton shawl samples were crafted using Bendigo Woollen Mills Luxury 4ply for the fingering weight version, and Cleckheaton Australian Superfine Merino for the DK weight version. If you're looking for an excellent substitute for DK weight yarn, we’ve got a suggested option for you below to ensure you achieve the best results.
For the fingering weight version, you will need approximately 745 meters (814 yards) and 207 grams of yarn. Specifically, you will require:
- 626 meters (684 yards) / 174 grams of main color (MC) - which breaks down to 583 meters (637 yards) / 162 grams for the shawl body, plus an additional 43 meters (47 yards) / 12 grams for the optional tassels.
- 119 meters (130 yards) / 33 grams of contrast color (CC), or you can use more of the main color if you're opting for a one-color design, just like the sample.
