Loch Aline Shawl

Like ripples meeting the shore, the Loch Aline Shawl balances the calm of a solid yarn with the movement of a variegated one. Rows of garter stitch and stocking stitch blending texture and tone in a gentle rhythm that feels both soothing and alive.

The result is a fabric where the busy beauty of hand-dyed colour is quietly tamed, framed by the steady simplicity of plain yarn. The asymmetric triangle shape grows steadily from one tip, creating a drape that’s soft, fluid, and endlessly wearable.

Evoking the shifting light of water and sky, Loch Aline is a shawl to knit slowly, to watch unfold, and to wrap around yourself on days that call for comfort and colour.
