LARGE LACE diamonds paired with
solid stocking stitch lozenges create
highly contrasting areas of light and
shade on this shawl - which looks
particularly dramatic in the stormy
grey yarn of our sample. The triangular
shawl has a pointed edging which
complements the stitch pattern. It’s
knitted in a beautiful hand-dyed,
laceweight blend of baby alpaca, silk
and cashmere from Banshee Yarns.
