This bundle includes yarn to knit any of the shawl patterns from Painting Shawls by Stephen West— book not included.
2 full skeins of Merino de la Patagonia Superfine Fingering in natural color for the main shade
We selected 8 distinctly HUANACO colors, inspired by our region and by the idea of painting with plants: noble, easy-to-combine shades that speak to each other.
The contrast isn’t only chromatic. The minis are spun single ply, soft and fluid, letting color bloom freely. The two base skeins, on the other hand, are two-ply Superfine, bringing definition, stability, and a different texture in every “brushstroke.”
The result is a shawl with visual depth and tactile richness.
Both yarns are produced in small batches in our mill, under principles of traceability, animal welfare and a commitment to positive impact from origin.
