Skill Level

Lisa Richardson’s clever shawl is a versatile knit which can be layered with ease. The built-in armholes and short row shaping over the shoulders give a sense of structure, whilst the simple stripes allow it to be worn in one of two ways – with the smooth stocking stitch on show, or the reverse stocking stitch for a more textured look. The eye-catching stripe is knitted using five shades of wonderfully soft Alpaca Classic.

Alpaca Classic

  • 57% Alpaca
  • 43% Cotton
  • 25g
  • 120m/131yds

With its fine weight and intense colour palette, Alpaca Classic is ideal for Fair Isle patterns and light but warm garments and accessories. Its feathery feel and romantic halo are created by filling delicate cotton mesh with luxurious alpaca fibres, resulting in a light weight yarn with incredible meterage and spectacular texture. Knitted on larger needles, it makes an exciting choice for lace patterns too.
