Precipice

The Precipice knitting pattern is LIVE!


This new, deceptively simple shawl design combines 3 colors of fingering weight yarn and is worked entirely in garter stitch (no purling!). It features pinstripes, a uniquely asymmetrical edge, and 4 size options.


This design is a collaboration with Blue Mule Fiber, using their Fleck Ewe merino/silk base. Unfortunately, the Blue Mule dye crew has been forced to go on temporary hiatus recently, to devote more resources to the other side of their business (winery!). Luckily, there are still plenty of shops that stock their gorgeous yarns - McKinney Knittery, Yarnivore, Yarn Store Boutique, Skeins on Main, Blazing Star Ranch.
