Kit - Knitting - Wandering Paths Stole
Katrina King designed this heirloom lace shawl from one skein of Gōkana (80% bombyx silk/20% cashmere) lace/thread-weight yarn, dyed color #213 Celadon.
The pattern was published in Piecework Fall 2018 issue, p74-78. Katrina's finished shawl weighs 81g.
You can purchase the Gōkana yarn (80% bombyx silk/20% cashmere, approx 95g) undyed (natural white) with or without the Piecework magazine. (see dropdown box).
If you would prefer another color for your shawl, order the kit with undyed silk and then go to ‘Dye My Order’ to select the color you want your silk dyed (dyeing will be extra charge, billed separately) If questions, call us toll free 1.888.383.7455 (silk) or email info@treenwaysilks.com
When winding into a ball, we recommend putting an empty paper towel cardboard tube (or something similar) over the center post of your ball winder (you can cut the tube to the height of the center post). When finished winding, remove the yarn ball with the tube still in the center-this will prevent the center of the ball from collapsing (a collapsed center can create "bunching" which can lead to tangles). Work the yarn from the outside of the ball.
There is a lot of yardage in one skein; if you prefer, we can wind onto a cone for you. Order that separately, clicking here.
Thank you, Piecework magazine, for the photo of the shawl.
