A one-skein shawl is always a good idea 👀⁠
⁠
The Wilshire Shawl by is a beautiful lace design that works perfectly with just one skein of Trinity 2 Ply.⁠
⁠
Our sample is knitted in Pure Majesty — a lovely project for making the most of a special skein.⁠

The same cardigan, three different people. ✨ ⁠
⁠
We love how the Lowrider Cardigan takes on a slightly different look each time it's worn. Worked in our much-loved IAY DK Tweed, it's a lovely reminder that handmade garments are made to suit the person wearing them.⁠
