Designed in collaboration with Shibui Knits, the gairloch shawl combines lace-weight Lunar with lace-weight Silk Cloud for a super-silky, super-fluffy knitting experience.
An easy-to-memorize pattern allows your mind to relax, so you can enjoy every delightful stitch. And the finished shawl? It’s light as air, soft as a kitten, and designed for wearing!
The winged triangle shape—a kind of triangle/crescent hybrid— combines the generous depth of a triangle with the highly wrappable wingspan of a crescent. It conforms more naturally to the neck, making the shawl easier to style and more comfortable to wear. So go ahead, put it on while the snow’s still flying…you won’t take it off until the flowers bloom!
