Cobblestones and Laneways Shawl

There are streets in London that have been walked for a thousand years. You feel it underfoot when you find them: the slight unevenness of the stones, worn smooth and rounded by centuries of feet passing over the same ground. Once you’ve noticed it, it’s a type of texture you don’t forget. Present and ancient all at once. The older laneways of the city hold their character stubbornly. Narrow, unhurried, they wind between newer buildings that have grown up around them. Worth seeking out, and worth slowing down for. Cobblestones and Laneways is a warm, generous triangle shawl worked in worsted weight yarn. Bands of richly textured stitches build a fabric with real weight and depth, framed by a deep rib border. Four colours offer rewarding opportunities to play, but the texture carries enough interest that a single shade works just as beautifully. A shawl you’ll reach for again and again. **Size** One size **Finished Measurements** 196cm (77”) wingspan across top edge 70cm (27.5”) neck to bottom edge **Yarn** La Bien Aimée Corrie Worsted [75% Falkland Corriedale, 25% Gotland, 230m/250yds per 100g skein], 4 x 100g skeins Colours: Colour A: Belle Rose 1 x 100g skeins, Colour B: Sandstone 1 x 100g skein, Colour C: Highgarden 1 x 100g skein, Colour D: Rust 1 x 100g skein. o r Approximately 330g of DK weight yarn totaling approximately 759m/809yds.
