Tyndyrn

Introducing Tyndyrn, an exquisite textured semicircular shawl that elegantly combines flowing lace and intricate deep cables. This stunning design is inspired by the magnificent lace intricacies of Herbert Niebling as well as the soaring gothic arches of Tyntern Abbey, a historical site in Wales—giving the shawl its Welsh name, Tyndyrn.

This versatile shawl pattern offers two main body sizes, allowing knitters to customize their projects to their liking. Additionally, the beautiful edging incorporates four extra ending points, alongside a repeatable mesh edge, offering greater length and the perfect chance to utilize any remaining yardage. If you're looking to create a broader design, you can also easily add extra wedges to vary the shawl's width, making it adaptable to personal preferences and different occasions.

The Tyndyrn design is ideal for a range of yarns, specifically catered for lace to sport weight yarns that can be in solid, semi-solid, very subtle speckle, or gradient coloring options. This gives knitters the opportunity to express their creativity and personalize the shawl in a myriad of ways.

Please note that the pattern is presented in charts only; however, to ease you into the design, the early rows are written out in detail to help establish the pattern confidently. This makes Tyndyrn suitable for knitters of varying skill levels who are eager to master their lace and cable techniques.

Whether you plan to work with 700 to 1000 meters of yarn (or even more if you decide to use a heavier fingering weight and incorporate all the stylish extensions), Tyndyrn promises a rewarding and engaging knitting experience. Embrace this beautiful project and create a shawl that is not only a garment but a piece of art that embodies both history and elegance.
