A creative collaboration with Nature’s Luxury, this shawl uses three weights of their ‘On Stage’ yarn base. Inspired by antique lace fabrics, Adelia combines open delicate stitches with dimensional bobbles and woven yarn inlay that emulates hand embroidery. Adelia is knitted tip-to-tip and constructed in four parts: a central piece, the left and right tips, and a border, each of which uses different yarn and stitch combinations.
