The Hummingbird Shawl is a side-to-side construction shawl, designed to show off the amazing colors in the Freia Shawl Balls. It can be worked with just one skein of fingering weight yarn, as shown here, or use two for an even longer shawl! As long as you have a scale that can weigh smaller weights (such as a kitchen scale), you can even use any yarn weight you’d like! <3

The Hummingbird Shawl was originally designed for The Fiber Gallery for the 2024 Puget Sound LYS Tour.
