AVFKW x Zoë Scheffy - Summer Afternoon Shawl Bundle

The Summer Afternoon Shawl pattern is worked lengthwise with short rows over a series of unique mock-cable stitches, giving the shawl a gentle curve and slightly more width at the center of the shawl.

Soft Current, made of suri alpaca and silk, falls in gentle curves, soft and fine and full of drape. In this design, Zoë chose to hold it double, using one strand each of Autumn Light and Meringue, to create a fluffier fabric. Though as you can see from the photos, the fabric is still incredibly lightweight, allowing light and air to pass through. Soft Current is naturally-dyed by hand in our Oakland studio.

CROCKING
When working with yarn dyed with indigo and with medium to dark shades of natural dyes (especially on slick fibers like mohair), it is common and natural for the dye to rub off on one’s hands while making. This is called crocking. Although the goods have been washed, it takes pressured contact to release the extra dye. Your handwork is part of the dyeing process. The dye can be removed with hot water and soap. From working closely with dyed materials through the making process, typically, the excess dye has been removed, and the crocking will cease.

~~~

ALWAYS use pH-neutral soap when blocking and washing natural dyes.

Please note the fiber content of the material you are working with, and follow the applicable instructions: 

Cotton or linen - Machine washable on cool cycle. Lay flat to dry.

Superwash Wool - Machine washable on cool cycle, though hand wash recommended. Lay flat to dry.

Wool and Wool blends - Handwash only in lukewarm water. Lay flat to dry.
