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 existing designs to highlight new yarn ranges in the KOKON BLEU range. The Snoep Shawl was originally designed using one main colour in the Kokon Yarn range however this time three different colours in the new KOKON BLEU Merino Linen range were used between the Slubby Mohair 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.
