This shawl went off the needles and around my neck almost instantly, it is so gorgeous.
The Eyelet Shawl using Dyelot Yarn’s Stimulus Package yarn in the colorway Santa Fe is a superbly simple knit. The yarn comes in a big fat skein but is really six smaller skeins of yarn, all dyed the same but with gorgeously different textures.
The pattern came free with the yarn but it makes a hugely long shawl. I am almost 6′ tall and I have to triple wind it around me for a loose cowl effect. I might like to make another one that is about 2 feet shorter! But regardless, I love this shawl and am so grateful for the gift of the yarn from E___. I am going to be cozy and very stylish all winter long.
Thank you!
This is so pretty! The colours remind me of a peacock, and the different textures make the yarn so interesting visually.
I never thought of them is peacock colors but you’re absolutely right! They look a little more green than the turquoise but it picks up whatever colors you wearing at the time, which I love.
That must be the best redhead shawl ever, every one of us should have one! That yarn package is going on my Xmas wishlist RIGHT NOW!
Thank you! I would love to get more of this yarn, wouldn’t a soft beret be really fabulous?
I went straight to the link, but they’re wholesalers, and supply only within the US- what’s an Irishwoman to do? Dream on , I suppose, and be happy for you that you have such a kind friend!
I’d go for an entire sweater…
I sent you a link Pauline, hope that helps!
Thanks! I’m afraid I can’t find it, I’m a slow learner on the computer- I’ll get my son to have a look…
Gorgeous shawl! I know you’ll get a lot of enjoyment from it. And the yarn makes me drool! ha ha
