Let There Be Silk

Tranquil Waters Shawl by Alyssa Rasmussen
Blue Sky Fibers Skyland + Metalico, colors Deep Space +
Sterling, Platinum, Sandstone, Rose Quartz, Jade, Turquoise

The drape! The sheen! Spanning the seasons, this cape-shaped wrap is always in style. Knit in two silk blend yarns, the Tranquil Waters Shawl by Alyssa Rasmussen is absolutely stunning & incredibly versatile.

A photo cannot begin to bring to life the fantastic fabric created with the pairing of Blue Sky Fibers Skyland & Metalico. Spun with highland wool, baby alpaca & silk, Skyland has a soft hand & beautiful stitch definition. Metalico is a molten-metal inspired yarn with a delightful sheen. Both yarns deliver a delicious drape.

Pops of color create a “stitched” look throughout the wrap. Ready for adventurous beginners & beyond, the pattern involves knits, purls, yarnovers & slipped stitches. Worked back & forth without seams or joins, Tranquil Waters requires minimal finishing.
