• Product description

  “Bolt is an asymmetric and shallow triangle shawl. It is a perfect lightweight companion for brisk spring days; it keeps you warm but is super light to carry lightly on your shoulders. The shawl is worked seamlessly in sequences of different stripes.” − Veera Välimäki

  Designer: Veera Välimäki

  Collection: Wool People, Volume 5

   

• Pattern materials

  YARDAGE

  • Fingering weight wool yarn in the following approximate amounts: 305 yards of Main Color, 305 yards of Contrast Color

  
  

  YARN

  • 2 skeins MC and 2 skeins CC of Brooklyn Tweed Loft (100% American Targhee-Columbia wool; 275 yards / 50g) 
  • Photographed in Sweatshirt (MC) and Soot (CC)

  
  

  Note that sample was made with exactly 1 skein each of MC and CC.

  If you wish to make the shawl using one skein each, work the 2-Row Stripe Section until you run out of CC, and work the Solid Section until you run out of MC. Your shawl may be a slightly different size if you choose to do this. If you have not matched gauge, your yarn requirements may vary.
