Curious Handmade’s Tobermory shawl is named after an
impossibly beautiful seaside town on the Isle of Mull in Scotland, where
brightly painted buildings sparkle against the dark blue bay. Knit in Road to
China Light, the stripes of the crescent-shaped shawl hint at the promises of
riches beneath the waves. Tobermory is knit from the top down with no seaming
required. The Fibre Co. Road to China Light is an incredibly soft blend of baby
alpaca, cashmere, camel, and silk. The silk adds the slightest hint of luster
to the yarn, and the colors are incredible. The lace patterns are charted and
written out.
