Notes

Inspiriert durch Stephen Wests “Spectra” wollte ich eine breitere und leichtere Version seines Designs stricken. Die beiden sehr unterschiedlichen Garne bilden eine weiche und kuschelige Textur. Der Schal ist sehr leicht - er wiegt nur knapp 115 g -, hält aber Hals, Schultern, Arme und den Oberkörper warm. Der Strick ist sehr elastisch - deshalb kann man den Schal auch als Jäckchen tragen, wenn er im Rücken geknotet wird.

I was inspired by Stephen West’s “Spectra”, but wanted to knit a wider and lighter version of his design. The two very different yarns create a smooth and cosy texture. The scarf/shawl is very light - it only weighs 115 grs -, but keeps your neck, shoulders, arms and upper body warm. It is very elastic and can thus also be worn as a shrug when knotted on the back.
