Now that the summer is over and fall is in the air, a nice warm shawl wrapped around your shoulders would be grand. This shawl was knit with 3 skeins of my Mid Summer Night Merino/Tencel Navajo plied yarn.
This Shawl measures 55 1/2" W X 26 1/2" L. It is just a basic garter stitch shawl with a touch of lace down the middle, sides and along the top.
The colors in the yarn of this shawl are Cinnabar Merino, Cider Merino, Purple Merino and Black Merino/Tencel.
I had a lot of fun knitting and designing this shawl, starting with carding the different colored fibers into batts. Then spinning the batts into single plied yarn on my Ashford Kiwi Student Spinning Wheel. Once I had 4 bobbins filled up with single plied yarn, I then had even more fun Navajo plying the yarn into a 3 ply yarn. Once the 4 skeins were Navajo plied I then washed each skein and hung them to dry. When the skeins were dry, I then listed one of the skeins on my website and on Etsy, but kept three skeins to knit this shawl.
This shawl is light weight, but will still be warm when wearing it on those cool fall days or nights.
