For the basic shawl lession, we will apply the basics learnt in our foundation class to work on a proper project. The objective of this shawl project is to learn how to make increases to achieve a triangle shape.
Choose either package:
- 1 sessions; small kit + 1 x 3hr of class to get you started
- 2 sessions; small kit + 2 x 3hr of class to get you started
*if you want to make a large shawl for the sessions package, topup yarn in person
Designer's writeup:
Accordion is a very “simple-to-knit” shawl/wrap which is constructed by repeating “yarn over twice” lace ladder stitches. By one side increasing, this shawl will be formed into a right triangle shaped shawl. The Accordion in the picture is a large version made with 3 skeins of merino/silk fingering yarn.
This shawl is easily made small or large size or any size wanted by adding more yarn.
Yarn: 2/3 (small/large) skeins of Eve Chamber Textile’s Midnight Sky 4ply (75% merino, 25% Silk) 400m/100g (437yd/3.5oz)
Other yarn suggestions: Any fingering yarn with Wool/Silk blend would do the job. Please note! The more silk is in blend, the more drapery the fabric gets.
Gauge: 24 sts x 28 rows in 10cm x 10cm (4”x4”) in lace pattern after blocking. (4sts pattern repeats 6 times in 10 x10)

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
Hand dyed yarn care
We pre-wash our yarn with delicate soap before releasing to the wild.
To continue to care for our yarn, we strongly recommend using
- delicate detergent for wool and silk,
- hand wash in cool to room temperature water, and
- dry flat.
Avoid washing it in washing machine and dryer even though it says "superwash" or on lowest heat and rpm setting. Agitation from tumbling will cause the fibre to pill and in the worst case, shrink and felt.
Ensure fully dry and store away from the sun to prevent discoloration.
