Pointe is an ethereal shawl featuring an airy combination of garter stitch and brioche lace.
From the pointe-shoe-like tip to the graceful lace design of a prima ballerina costume, its shape and construction reflect the finesse and elegance ballet inspires to me.
Ballerina is a featherweight, slightly oversized poncho in delicately transparent merino and mohair brioche. It has a round low-cut neckline to accentuate your neck and collar bones, and its folds will gently brush your arms as you walk, making you feel as glamourous as a ballet dancer.
Warm-up is a light two-colour brioche hat designed with the merino leftovers from the two main pieces to bring the look together and maximize the use of your favourite yarn.
November 2020 : Corella is the wrap addition to my Ballet Collection.
I named this wrap after world-famous Spanish ballet dancer Ángel Corella, founder of the Barcelona Ballet, because the bright colours that Greta and the Fibers hand-dyes in Spain inspire me to dance in their sunshine!
This lightweight wrap is worked flat in modular sections: a main garter stitch and slipped stitches rectangle, a brioche side panel and eyelet borders.
