Dreamweaver is an exquisite shawl, combining a medley of colours and textures – echoing the beauty of fabric created with a loom but using knitting needles instead!

Dive deep into your stash, uncover leftovers of fingering-weight yarn and long-forgotten mini- skeins from advent calendars and sock sets.

Dreamweaver is a shawl you’ll find hard to put down; she’s perfect for combining fades and complementary colours. Just one more row, you’ll whisper as you shuttle along. Just one more section, you’ll sigh as you come to the end of a weft or warp piece and cast an eye at the rainbow of yarns before you, scheming what will come next.

Including charts and written instructions, Dreamweaver includes directions that can be easily adapted to suit the yarn you have.

Perfect for adventurous beginner knitters and experienced knitters alike.
