Storebæltssjal

Storebælt - sand, strand og vand. Mønstre skabt af vind, vand og mennesker. Hver dag det samme. Hver dag nyt. Adskiller og sammenholder på en og samme gang landsdele. Møder alle uden skelnen. The same for everyone.

Sjalet er en trekant med enkle snoninger, der munder ud i en bredning af glatstrik, der er dobbelt og dermed ens på begge sider. Afsluttet med en horisontal dobbelt i-cord, der fastholder det symmetriske, dobbelte mønster og gør, at du aldrig skal tænke over, hvordan det vender. Her er et fint spil mellem plantefarvet, non-superwash garn og håndfarvet superwash sokkegarn. I opskriften er der links til små videoer, der viser, hvordan både snoninger, dobbelt glatstrik og i-cord laves.

Great Belt Shawl

The Great Belt between Danish Zealand and Funen - sand, beach and water. On the beach patterns created by wind, water and people. Every Day the same. Every day something new.
Divides and unites two islands. Meets everybody the same. The same for everyone.

The shawl is triangular with a simple cable pattern transitioning into a broad mouth of double knitting creating a shawl that is completely reversible. A double i-cord with tassels at either end maintains the symmetrical pattert and ensures that you never need to think about how to put the shawl on. The original idea behind the design was to create harmony between naturally dyed, non-superwash yarn and hand-dyed superwash sock yarn.
