Farpoint is an asymmetrical triangular shawl knit from side to side on the bias. Designed in collaboration with Lady Dye Yarns for a Star Trek: The Next Generation-inspired club, this shawl combines texture and color blocking to highlight unmistakable elements of Starfleet uniforms, including four bobbles reflecting the rank of captain. Mosaic knitting is used to create a knitted galaxy of countless stars—a glimpse into the final frontier.
