Recently I decided to try out the Old Shale pattern. I love
the idea behind the pattern - I thought that the pattern represented the waves
of the sea, but when I delved further into its origins it is actually
representing the ripples on an old shell, Northern Lace says that the 'shale' is how
Shetlander's pronounced shell.
My scarf started life as Falkland fiber that I hand painted and
then spun into a singles yarn. I initially knitted this into a triangular
shaped scarf/shawl, but it never seemed right, so I started again using this pattern.
It isn't the softest yarn, but it is
certainly warm!
