Named after the Mesopotamian Dragon Mother Goddess of the Sea, Tiamat is a crochet shawl that mimics the rhythmic and powerful waves of the sea. This shawl is also reversible with the texture of dragon scales on the back.

The shawl features Selkie DK, a BFL and Silk blend yarn hand-dyed in-house by Stranded Studio that contains a high silk content that provides excellent stitch definition and luxurious shine and drape for shawls and spring wear.

Tiamat is the Featured Crochet Pattern of the 2024 Puget Sound LYS Tour & Stranded by the Sea.
