The Meadowgrass Shawl is knit with one strand of Fino, our lustrous silk and wool fingering weight yarn, and one strand of Cabrito, a laceweight kid mohair blend. Knit at a larger gauge, this shawl has an effervescent sheerness: it’s drapey with an almost velvety feel thanks to the two yarns held together.

Meadowgrass is knit in one piece with alternating stripes of Cabrito. Striping the Cabrito blends the two colors to get a gorgeous watercolor effect. It’s a stunning look that you’ll want explore by knitting more than one Meadowgrass!
