Pattern and Kits go live Friday, February, 20th at [www.northbayfiber.com][1] *Designed by Jill Zielinski /@knitterella for North Bay Fiber* Docklines Shawl is a top-down triangle shawl. It is a relaxing knit with bold graphic impact. Knit in three colors of North Bay Fiber Bay Blend DK (70% alpaca, 30% Targhee-Polypay wool), the fabric is light, drapey, and beautifully soft. Simple stockinette with rows of purl stripes grow from the center spine, creating striking lines that completely transform with your color choices.
