New Moon Shawl
The New Moon Shawl is knitted on the bias entirely in Garter Stitch. Increasing and decreasing stitches create the diamond shape which is wide in the center and narrow at the ends. This makes it easy to wear. The shawl is a perfect project for beginners and the yarn is luxurious enough to satisfy even the most experienced knitter!
The New Moon Shawl is available in 2 sizes Medium (48” long x 24” wide) with 2 colors or Large (60” long x 24” wide) with 3 colors of Moon yarn.
Our Moon Yarn is spun with Air-Jet technology making it extremely lightweight and soft. It is excellent for large projects, like our popular Moon Shawl! The yarn helps make the Moon Shawl a fast knit, without sacrificing the soft touch, and warm feel of this baby alpaca and merino wool combination.

Please Note |
Due to the nature of hand dyeing and the technique we use, each skein is unique. We dye in small batches, so there are no dye lots. The color, distribution, and saturation will vary from skein to skein. If working on a multi-skein project we recommend alternating skeins to avoid visual color differences, pooling, etc. Keep in mind the actual colors may differ based on the color settings of your screen as well (ie blue light filters). |
