The Greenlander Shawl draws inspiration from the Saga of the Greenlanders, an Icelandic narrative chronicling Greenland's settlement and the Norse colonization of North America. Much like the saga's unfolding story, this shawl takes us on a journey, beginning with the dark Norwegian fjords mirroring the starlit skies. From there, it ventures into the voyages of Eric and his intrepid followers, who on their journey find themselves lost amidst mists and tumultuous waves, ultimately finding safe harbor in Greenland. Here, they establish homes, constructing longhouses, tilling the soil, tending to farm animals, and hunting walrus. However, as the climate grows colder and drier, the settlers eventually leave. Some previously set their course for Vinland, while others return to their homelands in Iceland and Norway, sailing the vast expanse of deep water and the timeless starlit nights.


This shawl's design is based on a traditional Scandinavian shape, and its yarn holds a rich heritage, mirroring the warmth it provided to the brave Vikings of yore. As you wrap yourself in this shawl, you'll find comfort and a connection to the sagas, just as it once comforted those adventurous souls who dared to explore the unknown.

In Stock Yarns:  We will pick and ship your in-stock yarn as soon as possible, within a few business days. Please note that if your order also includes dyed-to-order yarns you will need to allow up to 1 - 2 weeks for us to dye and ship your yarn.

Working with Hand Dyed Yarn:While we strive for consistency, due to the hand dye process variations may exist between (and with some colourways within) dye lots. Therefore it is important to order sufficient yarn for your project, and if a uniform result is preferred we suggest alternating skeins. We hope that you will value and appreciate the beautiful and unique creations of the hand dye process and are always happy to assist you in working with hand dyed yarns!
