Density Shawl

This light as a feather accessory uses a textured stitch that truly shines thanks to the stitch definition and sheen of Road to China Lace. To create this beautiful fabric the piece is worked with a mixture of single and double-stranded rows and an easy yarn over pattern, meaning you can quickly memorise this pattern and sink into a meditative knit.

Foundations: The first wobbly scarf you knit and knotted proudly around your neck to keep out the cold. The handmade mittens you wore as a child, a gift from a beloved relative. When we think about the hours spent making those items, we understand that they are an act of love. It’s the time you set aside for your own creativity that day. It’s the way you felt as your beloved pulled on your hat as they left for work that day. Each stitch, a hidden wish. The gift of handmade is at the core of our latest series of design collections. We named it ‘Foundations’ because these are the building blocks for a lifelong hobby in which we can clothe ourselves and our loved ones in beautiful colours and texture.
