Nymphaea: Water lily! Cascading zigzag lace evokes wind on the water, adorned with floral shell lace bands. This shawl was designed as a collaborative project with Bead Biz and June Pryce Fiber Arts. The fingering weight merino/cashmere/nylon 7 mini-skein gradient and 5 coordinating sets of beads make this shawl a joy to knit.
The original Nymphaea is knit with 700 yards of June Pryce Fiber Arts Saunderstown Sock, a fingering weight merino/cashmere/nylon blend. Color shown is Purple Mountains.
The gradient yarn provides visual interest, as do the beads.
A knit on edging completes the shawl.
This pattern is now available from me as a pdf download through Ravelry.
The instructions have been updated to give you options for a shawl knit with 435 yards of the main color, of 650 yards of the main color.
This pattern is also available through my Payhip store.
Many thanks to Amanda Woodruff for tech editing, and Erin Hocraffer for modeling.
