Sweet Fiber has made a limited number of kits for this pattern! Take a look and pick one up if you’d like!

Teacup is a top-down crescent shawl with lovely simple garter and stockinette textures. Sometimes you just need a lovely easy pretty shawl with nice yarns to cleanse to help you relax. I was so inspired by these three colours of Sweet Fiber’s Sweet Merino Lite together. Shipwreck, Vintage Teacup and Paper Birch! I just wanted something simple to knit them together into.
