Spinning Old Yarns
by Nicole
Discontinued.
This digital pattern is no longer available online.
Read about my thoughts on the shawl in relation to immigration and family history in my regular blog.
The construction of the shawl is very simple, shaped only by increases and decreases. There are no short rows, and the lace edging is knit at the same time as the body. Since the pattern uses size 8 needles with worsted weight wool, the shawl almost quite literally flows along!
The recommended yarn is 3 skeins of Cascade 220 worsted. My test knitters did not use this yarn; in fact, all of them chose a different type! Check it out:
Cayenne used a homespun roving, which she spun for herself in 3-ply.
Alina used Rowan Pure Wool Worsted.
Amy used Sylvan Spirit, a DK weight wool/tencel blend.
