This shawl is possibly one of the most beautiful things we've ever made. Trust us when we say that once you see it in person, you'll swoon.
*More photos coming soon!
Hand-knit with 25% Manx Loaghtan, 75% Punta Arenas wool, this is a product that is not made with Canadian-produced fibre. However, it was milled in Italy at a mill renowned for environmentally friendly practices, specifically for, and hand-dyed by, Ancient Arts Yarns in Calgary, Alberta. It is a truly sustainable fibre, despite coming from other parts of the world. (Did you know: The Manx Loaghtan is a rare breed of sheep native to the Isle of Man?)
This shawl is colour-blocked with three variations of pink: a soft, light, feminine pink that leans a bit brown; a medium pink that I can only described as "washed out bubblegum" (attractive, I know); and a darker pink that leans to merlot. Knit in an asymmetrical triangle, there is striping between each colourblock for added interest.
This shawl took approximately 46 hours to knit.
