Kit Shade

The Rainshine Shawl is designed by Melanie Berg. Please note that the kit does not include the pattern. You can purchase the pattern via Ravelry and her website.

We completely adore the light and airy Rainshine Shawl by Melanie Berg, knit up in scrummy Appledore DK, adding a pop of bright delight for those in-between weather days. The unique fan-like texture combines lace and ribbing to create this cheerful triangle shawl which we can just imagine draping over our shoulders on those chilly Devon mornings.

Melanie used Appledore DK in ‘Golden Knob’ to make this incredible sample which is a shade that never fails to put a smile on our faces! You’ll find kits to make an identical shawl, as well as other shades we think will look ace, whether you’re into bright, vivid hues, or muted, subtle tones.

Care Instructions

We recommend that our yarns are gently washed before use as we don’t do any washing or conditioning after the yarns are spun and skeined. You’ll be amazed by how much the fibre blooms after a soak and it will certainly help you get a more accurate feel for gauge and character of the yarn over time.

Once your piece is finished, we recommend another hand wash before wet blocking the piece to the given dimensions. This will set all your stitches and guarantee that your garment looks its best.
