Las Playas Shawl por @GrethaMensen

42,00 IVA inc.

INFO
The inspiration for this shawl comes both from the Spanish landscape and from the Spanish wool used for the sample. Sand ripples on the beach suggested the name of ‘Las Playas,’ which is triangular in shape and which, despite its cabled appearance, is actually an all-over lace pattern.

The version of Las Playas shown here is knitted with just three skeins of a soft, wooly, rustic yarn made from the fleece of Spanish sheep and called ‘La Rinconada,’ in the Niebla colorway. A small family business, ‘Wool Dreamers,’ produces this yarn in an ecological manner from María Pía’s flock of multi-hued merino sheep.

For your own version, try this special yarn or another one that you treasure, and enjoy making your own richly patterned accessory.

A stretchy bind-off provides a neat finish to the graphic design, which is easy to work from fully written-out directions with stitch counts, as well as a schematic and an easy-to-read chart.

Family and nature are the two most important elements for María Pía, known as “The Brunette”. This is the way she was called in her hometown to be distinguished from her sisters. Her transhumant and ecological flock of white and black merino sheep (listed in danger of extinction) is actually a reflection of her family, which physical differences made them even more special.

This collection is a wink towards this family union and how the vagaries of nature make it possible to create astonishing colors. It is so natural that you will be able to see small traces of the dehesa pastures in your yarn.

In addition, this collection contains a small tribute to our friends from the El Castellar and Asprona Occupational Center, whose labeling drawing has been designed by one of its members, Santi Rodriguez.
