Platinum Jubilee Shawl – Project Kit

In collaboration with the Cornish brand, NeliHandmade, pattern designer Lizzie created this simple and stunning knitted lace shawl for the Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022.

The subtle blush colour of the scarf commanded an elegant design, with a delicate border. The pattern has been developed using the Branching Lace Stitch, which is a good introduction to lace knitting. The shawl can be worn in a number of different ways for a chic and dignified look.

Originally created with our now discontinued Lyonesse range, we have updated the project kit to include some of our equally beautiful, Samite Silk Blend 4-ply yarn to compliment this gorgeous design. Our Samite Silk Blend range is a blend of Blue-Faced Leicester, Shetland and luxurious recycled silk.

The kit includes three skeins of Samite 4-ply in your chosen colour, along with the pattern presented beautifully in a recyclable box.
