KINDLING SHAWL
…………………………………..

Keep it simple. Take it easy. Stay warm. That is the mission of the Kindling Shawl.

With its 
thermal waffled fabric and wearable ‘triangle scarf’ shape, it is 
the quick-knit you need to keep your neck and shoulders cozy this season. 



Whether you wear it to gather kindling, or to sit by the fire with a good book (…or, let’s be realistic, to speed-walk through a windswept streetscape, hot drink in hand 
 and phone held to your ear as the symphony of traffic noise reaches its crescendo…),
 this richly textured yet uncomplicated shawl will add a touch of comfort, warmth, 
and interest to your daily rituals.

The construction of the Kindling Shawl makes it suitable for any yarn weight, and any gauge. And the stitch motif is equally suitable for solid and variegated yarns. A perfect project for turning random quantities of yarn into a gorgeously wearable knit.
