Trail less taken is a traditional triangle shape shawl featuring two amazing yarns, Dyed in the Wool and Soka’pii. It uses slip stitches to bring out the unique color shifts found in the Spincycle Dyed in the Wool. The slipped stitches also give just a hint of texture to the finished fabric. Edging is worked in a simple alternating seed stitch. The Soka’pii gives the shawl a wonderful rustic feel while still being soft and snuggly. I hope you love this combo as much as I do!!

If you prefer to manage your Spincycle colors I would suggest purchasing 2 skeins of Dyed in the Wool so you have enough to complete your shawl.
