Operetta Shawl Refreshed
Skeino's Operetta Shawl is created using two very different yarns and a three row repeat in just Garter Stitch resulting in a very elegant shawl. The kit includes one skein of our Bianca lace yarn (880 yards) and one skein of our Precious worsted weight Silk / Merino yarn (275 yards). The two yarns work together to elevate garter stitch to something really unique. Want to make a larger shawl, add one additional skein of Precious!
This easy ‘top down knitting’ progresses without cutting the yarns for yarn changes, all using the same circular needle US-8, 32 inches long.
As you can see in the video below, the lace yarn creates gorgeous transparency and makes it very light weight.
