A PLACE TO BE YOUR BEST SELF: IN THE COMPANY OF SOOTHING STITCHES AND SATURATED COLOR
Welcome to our California Street shawl design (with KITS available at Little Skein in the Big Wool !!!!).

California Street is the place where you can be open-hearted. It’s a real place here in San Francisco, where I live, but it’s also a metaphorical place. California has long been held out, in song and poem, as a golden place where you can be yourself.

As Anne from Little Skein says “With this shawl, my friend and fellow designer Tyne Swedish and I invite you to find your own California Street … to find the colors and stitches that represent your best self, your most at-home self, and to create a shawl that will wrap you in the feeling of friendship.

Tyne and I are real-life friends, as well as yarny collaborators, and we created California Street to celebrate that special feeling of quietly, resolutely, being yourself.“

California Street shawl is a comfort knit and wardrobe staple. It’s a classic triangle-shaped shawl with soothing bands of stockinette and garter stitch that make a hand-dyed yarn shine. It ends with a whimsical bobble bind-off that especially highlights gently variegated yarn.
