Marehalm shawl by Önling, No 20 + Silk mohair knitting kit

Strikkekit til Marehalm sjal af Inge-Lis Holst for Önling i No 20 + Silk mohair

‘Marehalm’ (Lyme grass) is a tribute to Fanø Knitting Festival, which has just been held for the very last time. Önling would like to mark this milestone, and the shawl 'Marehalm' is one of our 3 contributions. It is our colleague, Inge-Lis, who has designed this beautiful shawl based on a brief that read as follows: Make a design that pays homage to Fanø Knitting Festival and the many cozy moments we have had there.

This is Inge-Lis' suggestion for a beautiful shawl, to be worn on a cool afternoon by the seaside. The shawl has many, interesting techniques and the color is inspired by the mare straw and the dunes on Fanø.

The shawl is knitted in our lovely, rustic Shetland wool; Önling No 20 by Hanne Falkenberg and our silk mohair Önling No 10. Both yarns are available in so many beautiful colors, so the combination possibilities are many.

The kit contains: Yarn for the elected size and a digital pattern

Wool can last for years, but it requires good care. Washing is tough on your woolen garments and in general wool needs to be washed much less than other materials as it has a self-cleaning effect.
