I have trough my cooperation with favoritgarner.se been able to try the new yarn Whirl by Scheepjes. I recived this yarn cake in the color Caramel core blimey. It’s a 4-ply yarn in 60% cotton and 40% acrylic. It’s different from similar yarns because it’s twisted. It comes in 12 different color combinations.
I wanted to make a 5 sides shawl and I wanted to use back post stitches. The pattern I came up with is called Lauras shawl.
I have made a tutorial video. It’s in swedish, but it might be usefull if you have the pattern printed in English.
