Chal Raíces
English Below.
-Con motivo de la primera feria lanera de mi ciudad, “Sevilla Teje Festival”, diseño este chal bajo el reto de ser tejido con una sola madeja de 400 metros. En color amarillo albero, con ligeros toques de rosa, morado y verde, Dingolondangos Lanas realizó un genial trabajo, porque Sevilla está llena de color; y es que: “Sevilla tiene un color especial” como bien dice la canción de “Los del Rio”.
La principal regla que me puse: que fuera un chal para cualquier nivel de tejedora. Después, leyendo mucho sobre la ciudad lo tuve claro, mi inspiración sería reflejar todas las civilizaciones sevillanas que han vivido en esta tierra desde su origen, 26 siglos en un chal de una madeja, pueblos con mucha historia, que poco a poco a lo largo del patrón te iré contando: Tartessos, romanos, visigodos, musulmanes y cristianos.
-
Material: Una madeja de Dingolondangos Lanas base Merinyl Gold (75% Superwash merino, 20% Nylon, 5% Gold Stellina), 100g - 400m color Isbilya. Agujas circulares intercambiables de 3,5mm y para el cierre 3,75mm o 4mm, cable mínimo de 35 cm y dos marcadores de puntos.
-
Muestra de tensión: La muestra es importante porque se teje la mayoría de la madeja, y si lo tejes con menos tensión posiblemente no tengas suficiente material para acabarlo, teje una muestra que puedas medir 10 x 10 cm tejido en punto jersey y después de bloqueado, que en esos 10 x 10 cm tengas 24 puntos por 30 vueltas.
-
Dimensiones finales: 147 cm de largo por 45 cm de ancho.

English
-For the occasion of the first ever yarn festival in my home city, “Sevilla Teje Festival”, I designed this shawl under the challenge of it being knit with just one skein of 400 metres. In the colour albero yellow (albero is a typical yellow sand of the region) with light touches of pink, purple, and green, Dingolondangos Lanas did a great job because Seville is full of colour; and it is just that: “Sevilla tiene un color especial” (Seville has a special colour”) as is so well said in the song by “Los del Rio”.
Everything was falling into place little by little and now it was up to me to design something that reflected the city I grew up in and feel is my land. The main rule that I gave myself was that: it should be a shawl suitable for any level of knitter. After reading up a lot on my city, it was clear, my inspiration would be to reflect all the Sevillian civilisations that have lived on this land since its birtyo, 26 centuries in one shawl of one skein, towns with a lot of history, which I will tell you about bit by bit as we work through the pattern: the Tartessians, Romans, Visigoths, Muslims and Christians.
-Material: One skein of Dingolondangos Lanas Merinyl Gold base 75% superwash merino, 20% nylon, 5% gold stellina, 100g/400m in the colour Isbylia. 3.5mm interchangeable circular needles and 3.75mm or 4mm for the bind-off, a cable of 35cm minimum, and two stitch markers.
-Gauge: Gauge is quite important because this shawl uses most of the skein and if you knit it with a looser tension you may not have enough yarn to finish it. Make a gauge swatch large enough to measure 10 x 10cm in stockinette stitch and that, after blocking, gives you 24sts and 30 rows in those 10 x 10cm.
-Dimentions: 147 cm, 45 cm.
