The VL Knit Shawl celebrates the contrast of soft against structured, cloudlike against defined. Knit with suri held double, the upper body feels weightless and airy, wrapping you in warmth without heaviness. The fabric blooms beautifully, letting the fiber’s natural halo do the work. Toward the hem, a shift to DK-weight variegated yarn adds texture and color play, grounding the softness in rich, tactile detail.

Designed with simple stitches that let the yarn shine, this shawl is approachable for adventurous beginners and deeply satisfying for seasoned makers. Whether you pair tonals for subtle depth or high-contrast skeins for bold marling, every version captures that of being wrapped in a cloud but grounded in texture.

This shawl is just one piece of the VL Knit collection which includes a scarf, hat, and ear warmer as well. Check out the entire collection here.
