Spring Shrug


A shrug that can be used as a delicate layer to add a quick splash of colour in Spring like tones to your wardrobe. This pattern is worked using the yarn held double to create a luxuriously warm fabric with all the lightness of our lace weight yarn. Worked from the bottom up with short sleeves and a deep two by two rib to break up the lace panels.

Foundations: The first wobbly scarf you knit and knotted proudly around your neck to keep out the cold. The handmade mittens you wore as a child, a gift from a beloved relative. When we think about the hours spent making those items, we understand that they are an act of love. It’s the time you set aside for your own creativity that day. It’s the way you felt as your beloved pulled on your hat as they left for work that day. Each stitch, a hidden wish. The gift of handmade is at the core of our latest series of design collections. We named it ‘Foundations’ because these are the building blocks for a lifelong hobby in which we can clothe ourselves and our loved ones in beautiful colours and texture.
