Fresh Off Our Needles: Winter Suns

Winter Suns, newly released in Issue 9 of Laine Magazine, is an asymmetrical triangular shawl knit sideways that begins with a small corner formed with an i-cord and shaped by increases along one edge that form the wingspan edge. The shawl is divided into a one-color stockinette section and a colourwork section. Our Kelly was a test knitter for Winter Suns designer Olga Buraya-Kefelian, which means we've got her beautiful handiwork in the shop!

Kelly chose Navia Silkiull in 602 Light Grey for her main color and Queensland Kathmandu DK 100 in Graphite. 

We played around with yarn options that would more closely resemble Olga's sample and we love pairing three shades of Brooklyn Tweed Arbor (Degas, Mesa & Vintner) along with the smoky pearl grey from Mirasol Sulka Legato!

Who's ready for a little road trip?  The 1st annual Deep South Yarn Hop is a nine-day-long event (November 8th-November 16th of 2019) during which participants purchase a passport, visit each participating shop, and receive special deals and sales only available to passport holders. If you visit each of the participating shops, you'll be entered into a grand prize drawing (over $1000 of yarn/yarn related items). Daily door prizes and drawings will also be given at many of the shops involved. Passports will cost $5/each, acting as a "ticket" of admission for participants and will go on sale at each participating shop later this month.
