5/4/2018 0 Comments Manta Ray - a linen scarf I just released the Manta Ray pattern! It's a simple, elegant linen scarf employing mostly garter stitch, designed to showcase @maiwahandprints' gorgeous Naturally Dyed Organic Linen from their Honest Yarn collection. It only takes one skein of the fingering weight and they just released a bunch of gorgeous new colours. When laid flat its shape is not unlike a Manta Ray. It can be worn wrapped around your neck as a cowl or decoratively draped and fastened with a pin. In the photos below I used a bone shawl pin from Maiwa. Manta Ray is free via ravelry for newsletter subscribers until the end of the weekend!

Welcome to the Vancouver Yarn blog! This space exists to celebrate and spread the word about all events, new local patterns, products and businesses.
Submit the details of an event or new locally designed knitting/crochet pattern, or other local DIY news and I'll post about it here. Thank you! ~Janna
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 at the top of this page, or send your press release to me at
