Snoep Shawl by Eri Shimizu in KOKON BLEU

This is a retake on a fabulous design by Eri, the Snoep Shawl. Michelle and Tash chatted about using an existing design to highlight the fabulous KOKON BLEU range. The Snoep Shawl was originally designed using one main colour in the Kokon Merino Linen yarn range. For this version three different colours were used in the KOKON BLEU Merino Linen range. KOKON BLEU Slubby Mohair was used for the snoep lines. The sample pictured starts with KOKON BLEU Merino Linen in the Jean Michel Tie Dye, followed by Jean Michel Fade 1 and then Jean Michel Speckle. Repeat these three colours throughout the knit or choose your own order. It's up to you. Both Michelle and Tash love how this new take on an existing shawl design has turned out and we hope you do too.
