At the time that I was creating this shawl, Ucluelet’s
black rocky bluffs were being pounded by 31 ft/9.5m
waves, hurricane force winds and king tides. There was
a super blue blood moon, power outages and a 3:00 am
tsunami warning evacuation. The beauty and depth of
these blue hues paired with the dark and magical black
lace is a fitting homage to the wild power of the Pacific
coast in winter.

Two strands are held together throughout this project; it’s
perfect for melding an array of mini-skeins. Pre-order a kit
directly from the talented dyer, Polka Dot Sheep, that made
the sample yarns here. Free US shipping.

The inner edge of this crescent shaped shawl measures
67”/170cm, the outer edge is approximately
106”/269cm and at its deepest point, it’s 14¼”/36cm
wide. Size will vary with gauge, which isn’t critical.

swatching the desired colour gradation.

En el tiempo que creaba este chal, los acantilados rocosos negros de Ucluelet estaban siendo golpeados por olas de 31 pies / 9.5 m, vientos huracanados y mareas gigantes. Había una super luna de sangre azul, cortes de energía y a las 3:00 am aviso de evacuación por tsunami. La belleza y la profundidad de estos tonos de azul sumado al oscuro y mágico calado en negro es un homenaje apropiado al poder salvaje de la costa Pacífica en el invierno.

El borde interior de este chal creciente mide 67”/170cm, el borde exterior mide aproximadamente 106”/269cm y 14¼”/36cm de profundidad. El tamaño puede variar con a tensión, lo que no es crítico.
