Herringbone stripes zig-zag happily through this semi-circular shawlette, separating swaths of stockinette stitch colour blocks. These blocks, shaped by short rows, are a perfect showcase for the gorgeous characteristic texture and colours of Blacker Tamar Lustre Blend. It’s a rustic yarn spun from rare British breeds, available in a range of rich hues which add to the medieval feel of the accessory. Style it with a matching cast iron shawl pin to channel the look of the dark ages, and add a bit of time-travel to your wardrobe!
Because herringbone is one of the more difficult knitting stitches, Ydalir is aimed at the experienced knitter.

Knitting for me is all about experimenting, trying new things, rediscovering old stuff and mixing everything together to create something completely new and unique. You never run out of ideas or possiblities once you have started thinking about yarn and needles like that.
I also like a challenge when I knit. I enjoy immensely to have an idea and to think: Yes, this would be nice but it´s impossible to do. - Then I find a way to do it.
It is just amazing to me that I can write down my ideas at home, upload them here on Makerist and so instantly share them with other knitters all around the world.
