The Thalassa Shawl

From a very young age, I’ve always been drawn to water. Whether it is a lake, a river, an ocean, or even a marsh. I could occupy myself for hours, just being by the water. This is likely the reason that I have a soft spot for shell patterns.
The Thalassa Shawl features a softly fading shell pattern, finished in a delicate lacy edge. The shell pattern fades and returns much like the tides, which is why I chose to name it after a goddess of the sea.
For this design, I used Allure yarn from Expression Fiber Arts. It’s a luxurious 100% silk that feels unbelievably soft and smooth in your hands. The colour kit I chose, called Arwen’s Gown, flows beautifully from pure white to a deep, regal purple, enhancing the graceful wave of the stitches and adding a magical, oceanic feel to the finished piece.
