Talavera Shawl
Inspired by Talavera pottery traditions found in Mexico and Spain, where rich colors are glazed onto an off-white base, this shawl contrasts bold colors in a pleasing manner. The tiles’ patterning tends to be symmetrical and fluid, which is reflected here in the colorwork and eyelet knitting. The Talavera Shawl is knit using the mosaic knitting technique, so you never work with more than two colors at a time.
Encaje Bolero
This lightweight piece is a perfect spring and summer cover up with delicate lace details. Inspired by the lacework edgings found in mantilla wedding veils, the lace patterns make a graceful edge for this otherwise stockinette garment. Available in 5 sizes, this bolero is knit both flat and in the round and finished with eyelet detail at the armholes. The lace elements are only knit in the round making them easy to keep track of and free-from purling!
