Ambershore Shawl

AmbershoreShawl_everlea
My Ambershore Shawl is off my needles! This was my first fingering weight shawl and I'm so glad I picked this pattern, by local designer Inese Sang, to dive into finer-weight knitting. Alternating between stockinette, colourwork and bobbles kept it interesting, and each colour gets a turn in each repeat, so to see the variation play out while knitting is very fun.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I knit it in Everlea Yarn's Naturally Dyed Organic Merino Fingering in the colourways Water, Burnt Madder and Twilight. They are quite a stunning combo, if I do say so myself.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have these very yarns available in stock and I just added a listing for the bundle of three to make it easier for you to snag them (https://www.everleayarn.ca/shop/trio). There is an option to add the called-for knitting needles, too, if it’s Ambershore you’ll be knitting them into.
​
What other three-colour shawls would you knit in these colours?

    About the Everlea Guide to Vancouver Yarn

    Hi, I'm Janna. I'm the proprietor and natural dyer at Everlea Yarn, and the tapestry instructor at The School of SweetGeorgia. I am a tapestry weaver, longtime knitter and 2013 graduate of Concordia University's Fibres and Material Practices program.

    ​I created Vancouver Yarn in 2008 as a space to hold as much of the textile awesomeness that I could find in and around Vancouver. Here on the VY blog I mostly share about local events, pattern releases as well as share Community Highlights.

    Do you have an event, KAL, yarn or pattern release, launch or other thing you want us to post? Just fill out the form above or send your press release to me at
     janna (at) vancouveryarn.com
