The Gingermint Shawl is a top-down, symmetrical triangle shawl featuring a variety of textural stitches to create a meditative knitting experience and visually interesting final accessory. Simple slip stitch colorwork and a twisted rib border provide a bold finish. Originally designed for A Verb for Keeping Warm’s 2024 Pro-Verbial Club, Jen Peck's gorgeous design is now available for all.
The Gingermint uses one full skein and one half skein of Annapurna, a sumptuous merino and cashmere blend sport weight yarn that is perfect for creating well-defined textured stitches.
To create Peppermint and those bright pink speckles, we use a special mordanting process and cochineal. The Ginger Green Tea colorway is very hard to photograph as it shifts easily in the light. It is made using a combination of fustic, weld, and logwood purple. So in some light, it looks very dark green, and in other light it is a deep, moody, earthy brown. It is fascinating to compare this color and how it appears inside your house to what it looks like in natural light outside. These subtle shifts are what make natural dyes so fascinating.

PATTERN
This product does not include the pattern. Please purchase it directly from Jen on Ravelry.
When working with yarn dyed with indigo, it is common and natural for the blue dye to rub off on one’s hands while sewing. This is called crocking. Although the goods have been washed, it takes pressured contact to release the extra indigo dye. Your handwork is part of the indigo dyeing process. The blue dye can be removed with hot water and soap. From working closely with indigo dyed materials through the making process, typically, the excess dye has been removed, and the crocking will cease.
