We always love to see what you\u2019re making with HYS yarns, and I love to take photos of\u00a0your\u00a0beautiful finished pieces\u00a0to share here on the blog. As I was sifting through my large (and growing!) stash of recent show-and-tell photos, I noticed one brand of yarn popping up over and over again: Fibre Company.\u00a0Here are four exquisite shawls knit in Fibre Company yarns.<\/p>\n

Loretta recently finished two Fibre Company shawls. Above is her\u00a0“Twinleaf,”<\/a>\u00a0designed by Grace Anna Farrow, and knit in Meadow<\/a>. This two-color garter stitch shawl is elegant in its simplicity, decorated with thin stripes and shaped with short-rows.<\/p>\n

Above is Loretta’s “Quaking Aspen”<\/a> shawl, a free pattern designed by Courtney Kelley, and knit in Acadia<\/a>. It looks especially good, by my estimation, in a high-contrast color combination like this one, where the lace edging shines in a lighter shade.<\/p>\n

Pam’s “Piper’s Journey”<\/a> shawlette, pictured below, was also knit in Fibre Company Acadia. This yarn strikes me as a good choice for patterns like these with lots of garter stitch or stockinette, for the silk slubs and tweedy texture show nicely in simple stitches.<\/p>\n

Here’s Sidney’s “Sundry,” <\/a>knit in Fibre Company Cumbria Fingering<\/a>, a yarn she loved working with.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN5897\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s nice to see this pattern in a lower-contrast color combination than my own<\/a>; the effect is much more subdued, the two colors blending softly in the slip-stitch section.<\/p>\n

Thanks to these knitters for sharing their beautiful work, and to the Fibre Company for creating such special yarns! Look for more show-and-tell on the blog in the coming weeks, I have so many lovely things to share.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
