Happy 10 year anniversary to one of my favorite Local Yarn Shops, Dances With Wool in Midlothian, Virginia!

The Sycamore Shawl starts at one end and slowly increases to the full width before decreasing to it’s original cast on. The two strands held together represent the community coming together and the wavy stitch pattern represents the ups and downs of yarn shop ownership.
Owning a yarn shop is a labor of love, but the support of the community make all the struggles and hard work worth it!!

Emma’s Yarn dyed a custom color way for Dances with Wool.
The pattern is exclusive to those who pre-ordered a kit from them and will be released for all on November 18.
