Hello, special one! Today, just for you, I have a scrumptious, knitted shawl pattern. Oh my, I’m so excited to tell you all about it!


Galene was designed by Jane Vanselous. When asked about this pattern, Jane said, “Galene: an Ancient Greek goddess who personified the calm seas. Imagine a calm day at the beach, listening to the gentle series of waves lapping at the shoreline. That is the feeling of this shawl, from the soft blue of the yarn to the rhythmic nature of garter stitch, occasionally interrupted by a simple column of slipped stitches. The feel of the silk and the curve of the shape make it easy to wear around your shoulders.”

“This shawl begins at the narrow end and gradually increases, forming slipped stitch columns as you go. The end of the shawl is worked using short rows. This causes the slipped stitch columns to change direction and run perpendicular to the body of the shawl. The stitches are not complicated, as the body of the shawl is largely garter stitch. The short rows are worked with basic wrap and turns and do not require ‘picking up the wraps.'”This Intermediate level pattern is perfect for knitters who are comfortable with knitting and have made a few projects, using various skills and techniques. Skills/ concepts include wrap and turn short rows, decreases, charts, and blocking. 

The updated version of Galene was made with our beautifully shimmering, Limited Edition Ephemeral Fingering yarn. It’s a dreamy, 100% plant-based yarn indulgence (69% Peruvian Pima Cotton and 31% Lyocell)! We had this unique, luxurious blend created especially for you, so you won’t find it anywhere else. This yarn is imbued with a divine drape and an irresistible gleam with 548 yds/500 m per skein.

Our updated version of Galene was made with two skeins of Ephemeral Fingering in color Charlotte and used approximately 795 yds/718 m total.

This yarn base and this year’s colors are Limited Edition. Once they are sold out, they are gone for good, so be sure to purchase all you need for your project.

The original version of Galene was knitted with our luxurious Allure Fingering yarn. Our delectable Allure Fingering yarn is an elegant, 100% Mulberry Silk yarn with luscious drape, dreamy softness, and incredible color saturation! This 2-ply yarn has beautiful structure and is long-wearing. It’s a special delight when you’re ready to treat yourself to something sumptuous. And who doesn’t love silk? There’s something so indulgent about knitting or crocheting with pure silk! Allure Fingering has 218 yds/200 m per 50-gram skein.

Our original sample was made with color Galene and used four Allure Fingering skeins or approximately 872 yds/798 m total.
