In 2021 this was a collaboration with Wool and Honey and designed in a limited edition yarn called Wool & Honey The Hills. Now, in 2025 this pattern is re-released in Heritage DK by North Bay Fiber.

The Making Comfort Shawl is a classic top-down, triangular shawl. Rows and rows of garter stitch are broken up with a simple, easy to memorize, chunky textural stitch. The shawl is finished off with an elegant ribbed border. Knit up in an absolutely stunning and buttery soft lamb Rambouillet, this project is just the comfort every knitter needs and loves— a comfort to knit, and a comfort to wear!
