Issue 330 Kudzu Shawl in Cerro
|
|
The Kudzu Shawl by Rachel Henry is one of the Web-Letter’s greatest hits. The clever way the braided cables at the top grow into rows of leaves, flowing from one tier to the next makes it an irresistible knit for lace lovers. A quick click through of projects on Ravelry brings up beautiful modifications too – more leaves, and beads!
The key to this design is the perfect pairing of the pattern with a yarn that has both beautiful drape and excellent stitch definition. That is why we couldn’t resist featuring the Kudzu Shawl again in brand new Cerro. If you are familiar with the soft blend of pima cotton and alpaca in MountainTop Canyon, then you’ll appreciate the summer-kissed palette of Cerro, Canyon’s colorful cousin. Both yarns have a wonderfully soft hand and stitch definition uncommon among yarns with such beautiful drape.
