AVFKW x Stephen West - Iberian Discovery

Stephen created this pattern for the release of Horizon way back when...in 2013!

Many Verb folks have knit this; the shape so easily curves around one's shoulders. It is the ultimate shawl to keep warm. And what better than to be wrapped in farm yarn. The wool currently used in Horizon is grown organically in New Mexico. For this version, Horizon is paired with Verb's silk mohair blend, Frond, for extra warmth and softness. If you are not a mohair person, no problem! You can knit this out of 100% Horizon and still have an absolutely wonderful shawl.

Pick a scrumptious woolly worsted weight yarn and cast on for this adventurous textured shawl. Yarn over shaping forms the arched semi-circular shape and also decorates the fabric with easy breezy holes. There are three fun welts to work along with garter stitch short rows, knit purl texture and a picot bind off. The final shape is luxuriously long, ideal for dramatically tossing one end over the shoulder or wrapping round and round scarf-style. You can also wear the shawl as a vest by wrapping both ends around your back.

Pattern
This bundle does NOT include the pattern. Please purchase the pattern directly from Stephen 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.
