As a generous and soft triangle shawl, Earlybird plays with contrasts and structure all the way! It’s topped with a beautifully shaped short-row border.
Two different colors shift from one to the next over the extent of the shawl. Starting with one color, smoothing into two-color brioche and marled lace parts until flowing into the second color.
Earlybird is knit with two strands of light weight fingering yarn held together to get this extra blush of colors. You will have an impressive effect with high contrasting yarn colors, but also two similar colors will bring out the shift.
