Inspired by a walk through the woods on a sunny day, from deep dark dense tree cover, to areas of broken shade, then the open clearings. As the light changes, so too does the texture on the forest floor, with little growing in the densest shade.

The yarn used for the sample shown here is 50% baby camel and 50% mulberry silk. Soft, silky, and with a superb drape, this is our most luxuriest fibre. The yarn takes the dye in a particular way, leaving it with a wonderful sheen.

The pattern is designed to use simple stitches, with four sections to knit. One is simple stocking stitch, two are purl garter stitch, and the lace panels are simple to keep track of. The repetetion of these simple stitches, along with the changes in colour, are what build this into a gorgeous pattern. Shawl is worked from the narrow point to the longest edge, with increases worked gradually at the start and ends of rows.
