Two Colour Asymmetrical Shawl

This playful shawl is a wonderful way to explore colour, lace and texture. Worked from the widest point in a mixture of stripes, textured stitches and simple lace this shawl gradually decreases until one stitch remains. The piece is knitted with two strands of yarn held together for a beautiful fabric and speedy knitting. The shawl is versatile to wear and an easy addition to your everyday wardrobe.

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.
