I always think back with a smile to when Paul and I created Balayage. It was so much fun to receive all the wool samples in the mail, to create swatches and to decide about fiber contents, yarn weight, and the color palette of course. It’s a perfect yarn for shawls and it makes me so happy to see it loved and cherished by knitters all over the world.

If you haven’t knit with Balayage yet: You can order directly through the Pascuali website (they ship world-wide), or check the reseller list there to find a nearby LYS that carries it.

Knits to make you feel good! ♥
