I’ve had this gorgeous yarn since 2011, when I bought it from Lõngastuudio. Yarn was hand-dyed by my first lace knitting idol - Liina Langi. And so yarn waited for it’s right time.
Finally found perfect pattern for yarn, but surely there wasn’t enough of it, so combined it with white. I think that result is really gorgeous.
About the name. Marjamaa could be translated as Land of Berries. Or if you add dots to “a”, it becomes Märjamaa, where Liina Langi lives. So kind of play on words.

Pattern of shawl is charted and easy to follow. Shawl gets its shape by decreasing method – you start with bunch of a stitches (edge lace) and decrease stitches as instructed.

Take it into consideration that final result will depend on yarn weight, size of needles and your knitting gauge.
