Feathers are Leaves on Birds

This shawl is a great way to combine lace and beautiful multi-coloured or speckled yarns. Often a pretty multi-coloured yarn competes with the lace motif, but there is no chance of that happening when the lace is worked in a solid colour and the multi-coloured yarn is knit in a delightfully simple linen stitch. The linen stitch breaks up lines of colour admirably, while creating a beautiful textured background for the lace. If you’re anything like me, you can’t resist those speckled beauties from you favourite Indy yarn dyer, well now there’s a way to use them!
