Shine On

It’s hard to resist those stunningly vibrant skeins of yarn, hand painted or kettle dyed in the most beautiful of colors. Finding the right pattern to do it justice, though, is another story. This shawl was inspired by the yarn. It uses simple techniques and a bit of lace to show off the beautiful jewel tones within this fabulous fiber. A relaxing knit, this shawl is worked on the bias with an easy-to-memorize stitch pattern, with results that are even easier to wear. Sit back, relax, and let the yarn Shine On.
