Vandmærkesjal er et stort blødt sjal i alpaka og silkemohair strikket i et meditativt ribmønster, kantet med i-cord og afsluttet med en bølgende i-cord i strømpegarn holdt dobbelt og strikket som picotkant. Sjalets store flade brydes op i sektioner af vandrette silkemohairstriber og lodrette søjler af huller. Holdt op mod lyset ses striberne som vandmærker, og svøbt om skuldrene følger hulmønsteret smukt arme og ryg.

Vandmærkesjalet er et enkelt, elegant design, som kan piftes op med farver eller tones helt ned som ensfarvet. De to garnkvaliteter er vidunderligt bløde sammen, og har en dejlig tyngde. Sjalets design sammen med garnets kvaliteter sørger for, at det sidder godt og ikke rutsjer rundt. Det er #kaerwear.

Sjalet blev designet til G-ulds apakkagarn i 50g fed / 160 m. Løbelængden har i modellerne dikteret placeringen af “vandmærkerne”. Anvendes i stedet Hesselgarn Tale / Silk Alpaca i 100g fed / 300 m kan du eksperimentere med placeringen af “vandmærker” og skabe et helt personligt udtryk.

Watermarks is a large, soft shawl knitted in alpaca held with silk mohair in a soothing rib pattern with i-cord edgings and a wavy i-cord picot border in sock yarn held double. The large area of the shawl is broken up into sections of horisontal stripes of silk mohair and vertical columns of holes. Held against the light, the stripes will seem as watermarks and the columns of lace will beautifully align themselves with your arms and back.

This is a simple yet elegant design for you to spice up with numerous colors or keep muted in a single color. Originally designed for G-uld No. 1 (100% alpaca), which comes in skeins of 50g / 160 m, the models shown here have “watermarks” according to this meterage, but if you use e.g. Hesselgarn Story (20% alpaca, 20% silk, 60% merino), you may experiment with placing watermarks differently and thus create your own personal expression.

The two yarn bases are heavenly soft held together and yield a comforting heaviness. The design makes sure that the shawl stays in place on your shoulders. That’s #kaerwear for me - and for you!
