The Journey Shawl by Caroline Sommerfeld

Featured in Vogue Knitting Fall 2020: The Makers!

This shawl is very personal for me as it’s a retrospective of my knitting career and my career as a dyer! The stitches used in this shawl symbolize my various interests in knitting including texture, lace, cables, and stranding. I chose to use the ones that I personally enjoy the most, with each block and section representing a different time period in my knitting, and the various techniques I’ve learned along the way. The shawl also symbolizes who I am as a dyer since I prefer to work with primary colours in natural tones. Black and brown are included in this shawl as they are important to a dyer in achieving subtle and beautiful colours. The yarn I chose is one I designed myself, and together with the techniques and colours I used, this shawl brings both ancient and modern sheep together in a design that uses both old and new styles of knitting! It’s meant to be my tribute to a life time of knitting and colour, and is intended to feel like a big warm hug when you wear it. - CS

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!
