THE GAIRLOCH SHAWL
Designed in collaboration with Shibui Knits, The Gairloch Shawl combines lace-weight Lunar with lace-weight Silk Cloud for a super-silky, super-fluffy knitting experience. An easy-to-memorize pattern allows your mind to relax, so you can enjoy every delightful stitch. And the finished shawl? It’s light as air, and soft as a kitten. The winged triangle shape—a kind of triangle/crescent hybrid— combines the generous depth of a triangle with the highly wrappable wingspan of a crescent. So, go ahead, put it on while the snow’s still flying…you won’t take it off until the flowers bloom!
