The Sea Spinner Shawl uses a drop spindle to create twisted fringe as you knit that won’t unravel or fray. The drop spindle will help to create fringe that is even in length, as well as being an ergonomically friendly tool to twist the yarn strands to make the fringe without repetitive strain. Also, if you have never used a drop spindle, it is great way to get an easy introduction into making twist.

The shawl size is flexible and may be increased by using more yarn, such as a second Party of Five set.
