This shawl began life at Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival. I saw all of the new colorways that Into the Whirled had created, and I wanted to design something that would blend some of them together. I eventually settled on a tuck stitch that would serve to transition between colorways, while still only working with one strand of yarn at a time.

The garter stitch adds a bit of texture. I decided on this triangular shape to help move the colors around with the short repeats that are used in these yarns.
