🎼 Grand Ole Purl 🎼

Step onto the stage of stitches with the Grand Ole Purl, a show-stopping shawl that blends rhythmic lace with striking mosaic motifs, echoing the harmony of Nashville’s legendary music scene. Inspired by the iconic Grand Ole Opry, this design sings with rich textures and flowing movement, just like a timeless country ballad.

Knit in a stunning trio of teal, dusty purple, and speckled yarn, this shawl captures the glow of neon lights on Broadway, the twang of a steel guitar, and the soulful melodies drifting through Music City. The interplay of lace and mosaic stitches creates a dynamic contrast—like the perfect duet—while the generous wingspan drapes effortlessly, whether you’re two-stepping at a honky-tonk or cozying up with your yarn on the road.

A collaboration with The Traveling Yarn Yogi, this design is a tribute to fiber-loving free spirits, road trips, and the creative rhythm that binds music and knitting together. So grab your needles, tune up your stitches, and let The Grand Ole Purl take center stage in your knitting wardrobe!
