Silvermine
The Silvermine shawl is a half-circle textured shawl knit with Fern Fiber’s Sky. The merino and silk blend create a beautiful drape that naturally curls around your shoulders. Fern Fiber is based out of Asheville, NC near Silvermine Bald located in the Pisgah National Forest. All yarns are hand-dyed using natural materials such as indigo, madder and logwood. Their commitment to supporting local farms and mills make them a valuable fixture in the Western North Carolina fiber community.

UPDATE: since Fern Fiber has discontinued their yarns I have added 5 lovely yarns as suggestions because I believe they will make great substitutions.

US 3 – 3.25mm circular needle 32” or longer
US 4 – 3.5mm needle (optional, for binding off)
Tapestry Needle (for weaving in ends)
Gauge:

Special Techniques:
Chart knitting

Bobble bind-off
Notes:
Silvermine is worked top-down and separated into sections by garter rows. Each garter row is clearly marked, as well as sections where bobble making or chart reading is necessary. Silvermine was designed to feature smaller, more delicate bobbles so please read the abbreviation section carefully for complete instructions.
