KATH ANDREWS
KATH ANDREWS has designed this elegant shawl for our new four-part knitalong. “Mexican architect, Luis Barragán, is quoted as saying ‘A garden must combine the poetic and the mysterious with a feeling of serenity and joy’. This wrap uses yarns whose colours are named ‘My Serenity’ and ‘My Joy’”, Kath explains. Her design is knitted in McIntosh BFL, a hand-dyed 4ply yarn spun from pure British Bluefaced Leicester wool.
