Dropped stitches, fringe, stripes, and worked in the round…Leila has made a delicious project for us to savor. A celebration of our all-natural, botanically dyed Willet, Aiona uses one skein of all five shades (and is available as a kit!).

The scarf is worked in the round, on the bias, with a clever twist: An ample section of plain stockinette stitches interrupt the seed and dropped stitch motif, which is then cut down the center and unraveled to create built-in fringe (with two options given for adding additional fringe to the scarf). 

Use our new naturally dyed shades, or head over to our original Willet palette to create your own perfect colorway.

The lattice cable-and-eyelet motif featured on this asymmetrical shawl is combined with a simple 2x2 rib, and the results are stunning. We love this piece in pale Jupiter, but can see it in creamy Cygnus, dramatic Mars, or steel-blue Mercury. Euclid strikes a gorgeous balance between softness and structure.

When we saw this scarf come in, we all swooned! Dianna's colorwork is undeniably appealing, especially in our little fingering weight Finch.

We love Paulina's shawls. We have published many in the last several years (click her name above to see them all!). Here, she lays a simple diamond grid over squishy garter stitch, and polishes it off with an applied i-cord edge. Osprey is the perfect yarn for this ultra-comfy piece.

Leila hits the nail on the head in the shawl department once again, using as Nix's border a single, sculptural cable, framed by simple lace.
