    Light and Shade

    Aug 20, 2020 5 minutes

    LARGE LACE diamonds paired with solid stocking stitch lozenges create highly contrasting areas of light and shade on this shawl - which looks particularly dramatic in the stormy grey yarn of our sample. The triangular shawl has a pointed edging which complements the stitch pattern. It’s knitted in a beautiful hand-dyed, laceweight blend of baby alpaca, silk and cashmere from Banshee Yarns.
