The names that Adella of LolaBean Yarn Co gave these colorways were the inspiration for this shawl. The 80’s British pop was part of my formative years in music. I imagined a shawl that mirrored the dance parties back then, with the deejay fading from one song to bring in the next.

I went with a crescent shape that would be easy to wear, and I transitioned between the colorways by marling the yarn. I kept the whole thing relaxed by using Irish moss for the main field and garter stitch for the edge.

From now until February 20, half of all sales will be going to (Mission Blue Skies).
