Add in a splash of colour & sparkle with our November Secret Stash Club sample, The Lone Skein Shawl! Designed by Joji Locatelli, this one-skein shawl pattern is perfect for showing off that special skein of hand-dyed yarn.
HIGH CONTRAST + SPARKLING STELLINA
Our high-contrast Secret Stash Club colourway is all flashing colours and chaos, yet every inch invites you to pause and take it in. Is it turquoise? Are those red sparkles or blue sparkles? Is it gold? Is it purple? There’s so much to see, process, and absorb, but also so much to enjoy. As Felicia shares in the colour reveal post, “If I were a superhero, my power would be to stop time with my freeze ray.”
Firecracker Sock is a completely new base yarn for us at the studio, giving us an opportunity to explore colour, especially since there’s already colour in the base itself. This fingering-weight wool blend features a light sprinkling of shiny, metallic stellina in red, silver, gold, and blue.
ONE-SKEIN, SO MANY POSSIBILITIES
As we discuss in our “Single Skeins: Using Those One-of-a-Kind Treasures” post, we can sometimes get stuck on what to make with special, single skeins. We wonder how the colours will look when knitted into fabric. Or our love of the colourway leaves us searching for just the right project.
For this month’s sample, we chose Joji Locatelli’s The Lone Skein Shawl pattern. This one-skein, crescent-shaped shawl is designed for those treasured skeins. Bands of slipped stitches and garter stitch, combined with short row shaping, create a fun piece with a beautiful shape and drape.
There are plenty of ways to play with a colourful skein like this. You’ll find more ideas in our Knitting with Hand-Dyed Yarn course on the School of SweetGeorgia. There, our goal is to take the guesswork out of working with hand-dyed yarn so you can feel more confident about choosing colours and combinations for your knitting projects and other crafts.
