Vesperia Shawl, designed by French Canadian designer Émilie Hallet, is a stunning shawl featuring two intersecting patterns and a neat selvedge edge. Vesperia is French for the evening prayer song and is the inspiration for a shawl that will keep you warm on evening walks. Knit in Acadia, Vesperia is beautifully drapey and has a satisfying weight that is perfect for any occasion.

The Almanac Series II
The Vesperia Shawl is part of The Almanac Series II, which is a seasonal guide to knitting with The Fibre Co. yarns. Based on the original farmer’s Almanac guide to the seasons, this collection celebrates each month of the year with our Yarn of the Month and a new design launch in that yarn.

For The Almanac Series II, we looked to the heavens for inspiration. The beauty and grandeur of the night sky and awe-inspiring astronomical phenomena guided our creativity.

As the season turns here in the Northern hemisphere, and the temperature begins to rise again, we embrace our yarns more suitable for the warmer months. February is Cirro, March is Acadia, May is Luma, June is Amble, and July is Meadow.
