Ocean Weaves Shawl

Today I want to present you one of my new shawls - its design is based on traditional Shetland shawls.

I used a beautiful yarn by King Cole called Riot DK - it's a single ply, double knitting yarn that comes in various colors - I'm absolutely in love with it, this is my 2nd shawl knitted with this yarn and definitely not the last one!

Work in progress - violet leaves shawl

Here's one of the projects I'm working on right now. Have to say I like it a lot! 

Purple hand dyed yarn for a custom order!

A new yarn I hand dyed for a custom ordered shawl. It was a difficult one, the yarn seems not to like a blue dye but I finally managed to get the color I wanted. I had to dye it 4 times to get the hue but it was definitely worth it!.

That reminds me I have to order more undyed merino/angora yarn - that was my last skein and I have to say I really love the feel of this yarn. It's very nice and soft and is not as "solid" as pure merino.

Here's a shawl I hand knitted using the same type of yarn, dyed olive green.

Quick post-Christmas update

I'm back and have 2 brand new shawls ready to be listed in my shop! Just have to fix the rest of the images and I'll be ready to go. Both of them are 100% natural wool, very nice and soft. Can't decide which one I like more - these are two of my very favorite colors.

I will be updating the shops with new items during the weekend, somehow I still can't force myself to go back to my standard routine.
