Yarn Kit - Scout Shawl by Florence Spurling – Poppy Field

The Scout Shawl is colourwork heaven! It has a vintage patchwork vibe about it, like an heirloom quilt handed down through the generations. Every inch of this design is covered in different motifs. Geometrics, zig-zags and flower forms are knit in a combination of Fair Isle and intarsia. Knitted sideways from tip to tip this long narrow shape is great for wrapping around your neck without too much bulk. A great sampler for having fun with colours.

Scout is made using 5 different colours, a light neutral paired with two sets of lighter and darker contrasting colours. Choose complimentary or clashing colours, the result is bound to be stunning no matter in which direction you choose to go. The floated backside is almost just as stunning as the front! If you find it hard to choose, we have come up with 5 alternatives for you, with different fibre compositions and in a varied price range to suit both your shawl and colour cravings.
