Zakami Yarn & Pattern Collaboration
I am absolutely delighted to announce a new yarn and pattern collaboration with my dear friends at Zakami!
Designed to showcase their beautiful hand dyed yarns, this four-part shawl collection includes narrow and wide right-angled triangles; a top-down triangular shawl and a bias-knit triangle. The four shawl patterns have a common theme of a straightforward shaping formula combined with a regular repeatable textured stripe pattern. Three of the shawls are named after the stars of the Summer Triangle Asterism, Vega, Deneb and Altair, and the fourth shawl is named after a background constellation, Lyra.
Starting with the Vega Shawl on Saturday 25th October 2025, the shawls will launch over the next few weeks with a limited time 20% discount for each pattern so please do follow me on Instagram or click on the buttons below for more details!
The Dunnottar Shawl Pattern is now available!
Launched in collaboration with The Scottish Yarn Festival and knitted in their beautiful Clan 4ply yarn, my new Dunnottar Shawl pattern is available to purchase on Ravelry and Payhip!
