Barque

Ever seen those beautiful mohair skeins and bought one because it just called your name, but you’re not sure what to make? Well, I’ve been there. Barque works perfectly with one skein of fingering and one skein of mohair. It works beautifully whether the skeins complement or contrast with each other. Barque is designed in collaboration with Giddy Aunt Yarns and gets its name from the old sailing ship. The two colourways I used had maritime-connected names - Drift and Pieces of Eight, so it seemed appropriate. The shape of the shawl is also reminiscent of a sail.
