Star Beam Shawl Reveal: Pattern Published Next Week

Hot on the heels of the Moonwish Wrap, I can present the second shawl I designed in my series of at least four shawls/wraps/scarves: the Star Beam Shawl. Today I'll show you some photos and next week you can expect the pattern here and in my Ravelry and Etsy shops.

With each shawl design, I'm aiming for a different shape. The Star Beam Shawl has a shape that is commonly referred to as a dragon tail shape. I think my design definitely resembles a dragon tail, especially with the edging of popcorns and picots. I would have liked to have called it the Dragon Tail Shawl, but if you do a search of that name, you'll get so many hits...... So a more original name was called for. To link it up with the Moonwish Wrap, I decided on the Star Beam Shawl.

Below you'll find a few more photos so that you can see it's a very versatile shawl that can be worn in many different ways. You can also adjust it to any length you want; adjustment instructions will be included in the pattern. Of course you can also use a different kind of yarn. I used Scheepjes Our Tribe to create a beautiful drape, but you could also use a thicker yarn like Scheepjes Whirligig. Using a thicker yarn means a larger shawl, especially in width (length is adjustable), and a different kind of drape, but it would work very well for this design.

Yarn details
Our Tribe is a variegated yarn that is beautifully twined, which creates a dappled effect and thus the idea that there are even more than 6 different colours each ball consists of. The more the colours contrast, the more dappled the effect. It's super soft and works up very smoothly and quickly. It consists of 70% Merino Superwash and 30% Polyamide and comes in 100g (420m) balls suitable for hook/needle size 2.5 to 3mm, or even larger when making shawls because that'll result in a beautiful drape. It's machine washable at 40 degrees. Since the day we created the blogger colourways, quite a few new colours have been added to the range and now you can choose from 38 different colours - both variegated and single colours.
