FRIENDSHIP TRAIN

Chunky Marled Sideways Shawl knit with DK-weight Mohair HELD DOUBLE throughout. 4 skeins of yarn become 10 different color combinations. Stripes are solid and marled. Optional tassels added are made up of the leftovers in either solid or combinations of colors. Aggressive blocking causes shawl to grow to a more versatile size. Satisfying to knit and to wear. Named friendship train because of the colorful tracks set one after the other. It feels cozy and warm, just like a good friendship or a good train ride.
