knit/lab fabulous feathers
Swirling feathers and fans of clustered chevrons create this soft, light and versatile shawl.
Knit on 6mm/US10 needles using approximately 125g/782yds/715m of Schoppel Wolle Seniorita and Senior yarn, inspired by Dibadu. The yarns are woolen-spun from the finest Patagonian sheep’s wool. Seniorita colors are dyed on a white base yarn and Senior colors are dyed on a mottled gray base yarn.
I used 2603 Merlot in the Senior yarn
and the following colors of Seniorita:
2599 Rosenduft / Smell of Roses
2600 der Sommer wird rot / Summer is gonna be red
2604 Softpink / Soft Pink
2605 Abendstimmung / Evening Mood
2606 Grün ja Grün / Green, yes, green
2607 Sonnenstrahl / Sunbeam
2608 Möhre / Carrot
2613 Goldolive / Golden olive
2618 Purpurwolke / Purple Cloud
2636 Reif für die Insel / Ready for vacation
The color sequence is not detailed in the pattern - you can use the flat photo as a guide if you want a similar distribution, or have fun coming up with your own combinations. Make sure to include light and dark colors to emphasize the chevron interplay.
The pattern can also be worked with small amounts of leftover yarns of different weights and textures.
If you don't like splicing you can use self-striping yarn or something like Shoppel Wolle Zauberball Crazy.
