The all new crescent shaped Liesel shawl….

Knitted from the top down with a single colorful Lightly skein that makes the shawl grow with big eyelets along the top edge. The gorgeous lace border on the bottom is knitted with a single Linen/viscose skein, which blocks out amazingly well. The sweater featured here is called Ruggedly fine and it’s knitted with the same Linen yarn, even color used as in the shawl. Together they make quite the pair, don’t they?

Yarn used here
C1- A Lightly skein, 238 yards with 7 changes of colors and textures in fingering and lace weights respectively in cottons, rayons, linens and viscose.
C2- Linen, 192 yards in a fingering weight. A 50/50 linen/viscose yarn that drapes incredibly well.
