Knitting Kit for Marehalm shawl by Inge-Lis Holst for Önling in No 1
‘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.
This shawl is knitted in our lovely, soft and sustainable Önling No 1 yarn, which comes in many beautiful colors.

ABOUT PATTERNS FROM ÖNLING
In 95% of all kits from Önling, you get a digital pattern and yarn when you buy a kit. Read more about how to get hold of your digital knitting pattern here.
In very few cases, however, we provide a printed pattern rather than a digital one:
- When you buy a kit for ALL designs from PetiteKnit's, you will receive a printed, pattern together with your yarn, as we are unfortunately not allowed to sell Petite Knits' patterns digitally.
- When you buy a kit for a design from selected books (e.g. Helga Isager), you sometimes have to buy the book separately, in cases where the patterns are not released to be sold separately. It will always be clearly described in the product title, with for example "xx kit, excluding pattern", when the pattern is not included.
- All patterns from Isager are delivered as a printed pattern, as we do not have access to sell these digitally. You will receive your pattern along with your yarn shipment.
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.
