ABOUT
Sometimes the perfect fade arrives in your yarn stash completely by accident. This is exactly how the Engrain Shawl came to be. Three skeins that came to me at different times, called for an elegant fading shawl. The first skein, by Skein Study is Colour A, followed by two different National Park colourways by Explorer Knits & Fibres. The shawl has a built-in I-Cord edge and is an elongated diamond shape. There are so many ways to wear this shape, it has quickly become my go-to shawl. I hope you enjoy bringing your fade trio to life!
